I seldom bother other people with questions and especially requests to read my paper. This time I decided to do so. I wrote in 2008 a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis and revised it this year. The paper was from 6. May 2020 to 28. Agu 2020 in the Annals of Mathematics, the Princeton journal. After 13 weeks I asked if the paper just got lost somewhere, but they assured that it is in review. After 16 weeks they rejected the paper with the form used for papers not taken to review, so no referee statement, suggestion to submit it elsewhere, and wish you good luck. It is certainly possible that the Annals just kept it somewhere without reviewing and lied when I asked them, it is possible that they found a fatal error and just for fun suggested bothering other journals, but both of these cases show rather immature sense of humor. I hope the editors of the Annals have better grasp of scientific ethics. Thus, maybe they were uncertain. If so, it was probably because of the proof of lemma 2 that was somewhat unclear. Now I have written a new and very clear proof of Lemma 2. It is the only place where the paper could possibly have an error and the place where the error could be is pages 10-13, but I find no error. Could somebody check those pages? The paper is

It is 14 pages, all but the proof of lemma 2 are certainly correct. It takes some half an hour to check the whole paper.
