Sumbission of answer to CMI

Question

I am very interested in maths and believe to have solved one of the millenial problems. I can understand half of the problems and the other half mean nothing to me but I think I have solved the problem about distribution of primes among natural numbers (The Riemann Hypothesis). I have worked out a formula (which I'm not showing here for obvious reasons) but how will I have to present it to the CMI. Should I just give them the formula or explain why the formula is and why there is a link between prime numbers (which I haven't worked out yet).

Answer 1

Even though I highly doubt that you actually solved one of the millenium problems, I will still give you an answer. The CMI has certain rules for the millenium prizes. All rules are listed here.

Most important to you will be this part:

Before consideration, a proposed solution must be published in a refereed mathematics publication of worldwide repute (or such other form as the SAB shall determine qualifies), and it must also have general acceptance in the mathematics community two years after.

Hence, you pick your favorite high quality journal, hand in your proof, wait until it is refereed and accepted, wait for two years and the one million dollars are yours. I wish you best of luck!
