Documenting My Disproof of the Riemann Hypothesis: A Public Record

On March 13, 2025 (and earlier for Poonen), I handed my paper (slid under their office door), Prime Gap Instability and the Collapse of the Riemann Hypothesis, to three mathematicians at Harvard University and MIT. The mathematicians who received my proof were:

1. Bjorn Poonen – Professor at MIT, an expert in number theory.
   • Institution: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
   • Office: Room 2-243, Simons Building (Building 2), MIT
2. Melanie Matchett Wood – Professor at Harvard, known for her work in arithmetic geometry and number theory.
   • Institution: Harvard University
   • Office: Room 506, Science Center, Harvard University
3. Barry Mazur – Professor at Harvard, a well-known figure in algebraic geometry and number theory.
   • Institution: Harvard University
   • Office: Room 512, Science Center, Harvard University

This exchange was in person, ensuring that these individuals had direct access to my proof.

Why I Am Making This Public

The Riemann Hypothesis has been one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics for over a century. My proof demonstrates that it is false, using a novel approach that connects prime gap instability with the de Bruijn–Newman heat equation. Given the significance of this result, I am making a public record of my submission to prevent any potential misrepresentation, misappropriation, or claims of independent discovery by others.

Academic history has shown that groundbreaking results often face resistance, dismissal, and, in some cases, attempts at intellectual theft. This has happened to mathematicians before, including:

• Grigori Perelman, who solved the Poincaré Conjecture and faced an academic community that tried to downplay his work.
• Sophie Germain, whose early work was ignored due to bias in the mathematical establishment.
• Ada Lovelace, whose contributions to computing were overshadowed for decades.

By publicly documenting this exchange, I ensure that there is clear, undeniable proof that these individuals had access to my work on this date.

What This Means Going Forward

If these mathematicians, or anyone affiliated with them, attempt to:
✅ Claim credit for this proof, either in full or in part.
✅ Publish similar results without attribution to me.
✅ Pretend they developed the core idea independently.

Then this post serves as undeniable documentation that I, Jasmine Burns, am the original discoverer of this result.

I welcome fair engagement with my work, mathematical critique, and discussions that move number theory forward. However, I will not tolerate intellectual dishonesty, erasure, or theft.

Next Steps

• I am continuing to submit my proof to top journals for publication.
• I will be engaging with the wider mathematical community to ensure transparency.
• Any future developments related to my work will be publicly documented.

This post is timestamped and archived as an official record of my submission. I expect these mathematicians to engage with my proof honestly and acknowledge its source.
