I had lunch with a mathematician the other day who opined that the Clay
problems were probably all provable
or refuatable in ZFC. One way to argue this (without finding proofs)
is to give a syntactic analysis showing that the varous statements
are absolute. For instance, I have heard that the Riemann Hypothesis
is pi^0_1. Can anyone provide references on specific
statements or even better a summary article on this subject.
