Review text

In this expository paper the author gives a heuristic proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. By work of A. Weil, the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the positivity of a certain distribution (Weil distribution). In [Sel. Math., New Ser. 5, 29-106 (1999; Zbl 0945.11015)] \textit{A. Connes} formulated an idea for the proof which was then refined by the current author. The idea is to represent the Weil distribution as a limit of trace functionals. Connes explained this in the case of positive characteristic by projecting to the space of functions on the adèles which are, together with their Fourier transforms, supported in the set \(\{ |x|\leq T\}\) and then analyzing the asymptotics as \(T\) tends to infinity. In characteristic zero the above space is trivial so one has to resort to functions which have compact support and their Fourier transforms are ``small outside a compact set. Assuming a remainder term to be small enough the author deduces the Riemann Hypothesis this way. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0980.00025].
