We discuss new relations among string theory, four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) and the Riemann hypothesis. It is known that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to an inequality for the sum of divisors function . Based on previous results in literature, we focus on the fact that appears in a problem of counting supersymmetric states in the SYM with gauge group: the Schur limit of the superconformal index plays a role of a generating function of . Then assuming the Riemann hypothesis gives bounds on information on the -BPS states in the SYM. The AdS/CFT correspondence further connects the Riemann hypothesis to the type IIB superstring theory on . In particular, the Riemann hypothesis implies a miraculous cancellation among Kaluza-Klein modes of the supergravity multiplet and D3-branes wrapping supersymmetric cycles in the string theory. We also discuss possibilities to gain new insights on the Riemann hypothesis from the physics side.
