The purpose of this post is to describe the proposal and discuss the scope and parameters of the project.”
Briefly showing that is the Rieman Hypothesis, and it is known that
. Brad Rodgers and Terry Tao proved an old conjecture that
. The purpose of the project is to push down this upper bound. (The RH is not considered a realistic outcome.)
