Theorems in differential geometry

Bochner's theorem (Riemannian geometry)

In mathematics, Salomon Bochner proved in 1946 that any Killing vector field of a compact Riemannian manifold with negative Ricci curvature must be zero. Consequently the isometry group of the manifold must be finite. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

Weil conjectures 1 Introduction

This talk is the first of a series of talks on the Weil conejctures. We recall properties of the Riemann zeta function, and describe how Artin used these to motivate the definition of the zeta function of a curve over a finite field. We then describe Weil's generalization of this to varie

Understanding and computing the Riemann zeta function

In this video I explain Riemann's zeta function and the Riemann hypothesis. I also implement and algorithm to compute the return values - here's the Python script:https://gist.github.com/Nikolaj-K/996dba1ff1045d767b10d4d07b1b032f

More identities involving the Riemann-Zeta function!

By applying some combinatorial tricks to an identity from https://youtu.be/2W2Ghi9idxM we are able to derive two identities involving the Riemann-Zeta function. http://www.michael-penn.net http://www.randolphcollege.edu/mathematics/

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

A. Mondino - Metric measure spaces satisfying Ricci curvature lower bounds 2 (version temporaire)

The idea of compactifying the space of Riemannian manifolds satisfying Ricci curvature lower bounds goes back to Gromov in the '80ies and was pushed by Cheeger-Colding in the ‘90ies, who investigated the structure of spaces arising as Gromov-Hausdorff limits of smooth Riemannian manifolds

Weil conjectures 2: Functional equation

This is the second lecture about the Weil conjectures. We show that the Riemann-Roch theorem implies the rationality and functional equation of the zeta function of a curve over a finite field.

Some identities involving the Riemann-Zeta function.

After introducing the Riemann-Zeta function we derive a generating function for its values at positive even integers. This generating function is used to prove two sum identities. http://www.michael-penn.net http://www.randolphcollege.edu/mathematics/
