Abstract
The Riemann hypothesis is the assertion that all non-trivial zeros have real part $\frac{1}{2}$. It is considered by many to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. There are several statements equivalent to the famous Riemann hypothesis. In 1983, Nicolas stated that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\prod_{q\leq x} \frac{q}{q - 1} > e^{\gamma} \cdot \log \theta(x)$ holds for all $x \geq 2$, where $\theta(x)$ is the Chebyshev function, $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant and $\log$ is the natural logarithm. In this note, using Nicolas criterion, we prove that the Riemann hypothesis is true.
