Riemann Hypothesis

The Riemann Hypothesis only just qualifies for these pages, as a greater level of mathematical sophistication is required for its understanding than for the other problems on this site.  The Clay Mathematics Institute is offering a prize of $1,000,000 for a valid proof.

The Riemann zeta-function ζ(s) is a function of a complex variable s defined by :

\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s}

using analytical continuation for all complex s ≠ 1.  The Riemann Hypothesis states that all of the non-trivial zeroes of this function lie on a vertical straight line with real part equal to exactly 1/2.

The problem is to prove the hypothesis, or find a counter-example..
