After much anticipation, M. Atiyah unveils his proposed proof of the Riemann hypothesis. It depends on an interesting function called the Todd function. His approach of course still must be properly evaluated and time will reveal if all assumptions are sensible.
Update: Sir M. Atiyah has passed on January 11, 2019. He leaves a brilliant mathematical legacy behind, and a spirit of inquiry even E. Witten admired.
