Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the total number of times Donald Trump publicly mentions the Riemann hypothesis during his second term as President of the United States, from January 20, 2025, to January 20, 2029. A "mention" is defined as any explicit reference to the "Riemann hypothesis" in official speeches, interviews, press conferences, or written statements, including social media posts from accounts personally maintained by Trump. Mentions must be verifiable through reputable sources such as official transcripts, reputable news outlets, or recordings. Allusions to Bernhard Riemann without specifying the "Riemann hypothesis" are insufficient for inclusion.

Background

The Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture in number theory proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. It posits that all nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have a real part equal to 1/2. This hypothesis is central to understanding the distribution of prime numbers and remains one of the most significant unsolved problems in mathematics. It is one of the seven "Millennium Prize Problems" for which the Clay Mathematics Institute offers a $1 million reward for a proof. (britannica.com)

Considerations

Historically, U.S. presidents have seldom discussed advanced mathematical conjectures like the Riemann hypothesis in public forums. Therefore, any mention by President Trump during his second term would be notable and likely covered by major news outlets or official records. Traders should monitor official communications and reputable news sources for any such mentions.

As of market creation, Trump has released no statements nor papers regarding the Rienman hypothesis, though this could change at any moment. Due to the breakup with Elon, it's likely that trump is looking for his other real half, which he could find in the roots of the Rienmann-zeta function.

if Trump mentions the Rienmann-zeta function a non-integral amount of times between 500 and 501, this market will resolve to "501-1000"
