Casimir

Ha! I have done it! I think...

A nice, clean, totally non-computational proof that the homology groups of a semisimple Lie algebra with coefficients in a nontrivial irreducible module vanish!

Thus implying that the cohomology groups vanish too, by Poincare duality.

This seems like such an easy proof...

UPDATE (7 March): No, I was wrong. Sorry.

I have created a truly brilliant proof of the Riemann hypothesis, but unfortunately this comment box is too small to contain it.
