Who's Who in Riemann Hypothesis Research
A directory of researchers working on the Riemann hypothesis
Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) conjectured in 1859 that every nontrivial zero of the zeta function has real part exactly 1/2, lying on the critical line. The conjecture is still open and is one of the Clay Millennium Prize Problems.
This site is a reference directory of the researchers most active on the Riemann hypothesis and adjacent problems (the critical line, pair correlation of zeros, moments of zeta, Dirichlet L-functions, and the random-matrix connection). It catalogs the Top 100, ranked from arXiv preprint output, OpenAlex citation data, and zbMATH classifications, gives their institutions, and provides a curated reading list of recent short papers.
Where to start
- Home: This page.
- The Top 100: the canonical ranked list, sortable and filterable in your browser.
- Locations: where the Top 100 are based, shown by world region with maps.
- Institutions: the institutions ranked three ways: where the Top 100 work today, where they earned their PhDs, and a canonical blend of the two.
- In Memoriam: researchers in this directory who are no longer with us.
- Genealogy: close relations of the Top 100 through advisor-student lineage in the Mathematics Genealogy Project.
- Network: the coauthorship graph among the Top 100: who has written papers with whom.
- Reading List: the recent topical papers ranked by the prominence of their authors in this directory, plus the most-cited papers of all time.
- Overlap: the researchers who also appear across the related conjecture sites.
- About: what this site is, who built it, and where to find the methodology, the open dataset, and how to request a correction.
