show/hide this revision's text 6 slight clarification and rephrasing

Hi,

I know this is a dangerous topic which could attract many cranks and nutters, but:

According to Wikipedia [and probably his own website, but I have a hard time seeing exactly what he's claiming] Louis de Branges has claimed, numerous times, to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis; but clearly few people believe him. His website is:

http://www.math.purdue.edu/~branges/site/Papers

but I find his papers difficult to follow. However, whether or not you believe him, his arguments presumably should prove something, even if not the full RH.

So, my question is:

Are there any theorems related to the Riemann Hypothesis and similar problems, arising from his work, which have been fully accepted by the mathematical community and published (or at least submitted)?

I know this is a dangerous topic which could attract many cranks and nutters, but:

According to Wikipedia [and probably his own website, but I have a hard time seeing exactly what he's claiming] Louis de Branges has claimed, numerous times, to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis; but clearly very few people believe him. His website is:

http://www.math.purdue.edu/~branges/site/Papers

but I find his papers rather unclear, difficult to say the leastfollow. However, whether or not you believe him(and I presume most readers of this question don't), his arguments presumably should prove something, even if not the full RH.

So, my question is:

1.

Are there any theorems related to the Riemann Hypothesis and similar problems, arising from his work?
