Riemann Hypothesis

Open letter to those interested in advancing mathematical knowledge.

The Riemann hypothesis is considered one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics. However, the Riemann hypothesis is based on a flawed analytic continuation of the Riemann zeta function. Therefore, the Riemann hypothesis is false, as it is ill-defined.

Recently, I emailed the proof to universities worldwide. A three-page summary of the proof is shown below. Given the extensive worldwide research on the Riemann hypothesis, many may find such a claim absurd, laughable, or insulting and be unwilling to consider it plausible. How the recipients of the email will react is yet to be seen.
