Any research progress regarding Riemann's hypothesis would be talked about in the mathematics community.
This was no exception for the mathematics department at UC Berkeley.
After Professor Lu uploaded his thesis onto arXis, the news regarding the proof of the Quasi Riemann hypothesis spread like wildfire. People were discussing the news all over campus.
"Did you hear? The Quasi Riemann hypothesis was proven!"
"I did, that's incredible. No one has made any progress for a century!"
"Last time the prime number theorem was proved as a result of research on the Riemann hypothesis. I wonder what Professor Lu will make of it this time."
"Yeah, if only I had Professor Lu's intelligence."
"Keep dreaming!"
The mathematics department students weren't the only ones talking about this event. The professors were talking about it as well.
