Collatz conjecture proof

Question

A while ago a submitted an article to ENT about the Collatz conjecture, it consists the proof that I derived from within the structure stress theory which is a theory a I devolved to view the Riemann hypothesis. I didn't need to show case this concept in the Collatz conjecture article, I only used the concept to extract the properties needed to to prove the conjecture. ENT had asked for expert opinion about my article, I've had communicated my finding with a professor that asked to put his name as an author, which I disagreed with. Note that he did not contribute in any way rather reading and understanding, which I hoped that he would certify that my finding is true to ENT. Any idea how to publish the paper.

Answer 1

Sounds like you're unfamiliar with how the peer review process works.

1. You submit the paper.
2. The journal will have editors, who will usually send your paper to peer reviewers, who are often professors.
3. The reviewer will check the validity of your proof. They will not usually be listed as an author, and you will not usually know who they are.
4. If the reviewer verifies your proof, and the editor agrees with them, then your paper gets published.

What you're describing does not fit into this workflow, suggesting something is wrong with your description. In particular, this sentence does not make sense:

ENT had asked for expert opinion about my article, I've had communicated my finding with a professor that asked to put his name as an author

If ENT is the name of a journal and they asked for expert opinion on your article (i.e. sent your paper to review), you will not usually be contacted by a professor who wants to be an author.

So: check your description. If you were contacted by a professor who wants to be an author, odds are they are not affiliated with ENT. You wait until ENT reaches a decision. They say yes, your paper gets published. They say no, you find another journal.
