So the previous discussion link is from 2016. Why does this smell like a desperate attempt to get mathematical fame? Why does this post smell like a "For your consideration" promotion? The previous discussion also talked about what a quirky guy the prof is, as if trying to make it about personality.

The context here is we are based out of Hyderabad(india) we do not have easy access to top universities mathematicians where the fundamental research happens in math.

As far as I know, I think he might have sent it to journals and conferences. but the problem is for them to consider it as it is a very big problem in math they look for some initial validation from the community I may be wrong.

This is my attempt to understand how the hacker news community would validate it.

What is a 'For your consideration' promotion? I feel like I've heard that term before but can't quite place it.

When studios send DVDs (Blurays?) of their movies to members of the Academy (who vote who gets the Oscar), they say "For your consideration", in the hopes the member watch and like (and vote for) their movie.

Yeah, the post is very odd. What math professor doesn't know how to get his proof/work validated or published?
