It has been an open question for well over a century, despite attracting concentrated efforts from many outstanding mathematicians.

Riemann sphere In mathematics, the Riemann sphere, named after Bernhard Riemann, is the unique way of viewing the extended complex plane (the complex plane plus a point at infinity) so that it looks exactly the same at the point infinity as at any complex number. The main application is to deal with extended complex functions (which may be defined at the point infinity and/or take the value infinity, in addition to complex numbers) in the same way at the point infinity as at any complex number, specifically with respect to continuity and differentiability.
Riemann surface In mathematics, particularly in complex analysis, a Riemann surface, named after Bernhard Riemann, is a one-dimensional complex manifold. Riemann surfaces can be thought of as "deformed versions" of the complex plane: locally near every point they look like patches of the complex plane, but the global topology can be quite different.

Results of this kind were obtained by Michael Atiyah and Friedrich Hirzebruch in 1959, reducing the requirements to something like a spin structure.

Riemann–Roch theorem In mathematics, specifically in complex analysis and algebraic geometry, the Riemann–Roch theorem is an important tool in the computation of the dimension of the space of meromorphic functions with prescribed zeroes and allowed poles. It relates the complex analysis of a connected compact Riemann surface with the surface's purely topological genus g, in a way that can be carried over into purely algebraic settings.
Riemannian connection In mathematics, a Riemannian connection is a connection nabla on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g) such that nabla_X g = 0 for all vector fields X on M. Equivalently, nabla is Riemannian if the parallel transport it defines preserves the metric g.
Riemannian manifold In Riemannian geometry, a Riemannian manifold (M,g) (with Riemannian metric g) is a real differentiable manifold M in which each tangent space is equipped with an inner product g in a manner which varies smoothly from point to point. This allows one to define various notions such as angles, lengths of curves, areas (or volumes), curvature, gradients of functions and divergence of vector fields.
