Falconer's conjecture

In geometric measure theory, Falconer's conjecture, named after Kenneth Falconer, is an unsolved problem concerning the sets of Euclidean distances between points in compact -dimensional spaces. Intuitively, it states that a set of points that is large in its Hausdorff dimension must determine a set of distances that is large in measure. More precisely, if is a compact set of points in -dimensional Euclidean space whose Hausdorff dimension is strictly greater than , then the conjecture states that the set of distances between pairs of points in must have nonzero Lebesgue measure.

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

Theory of numbers: Congruences: Euler's theorem

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Euler's theorem, a generalization of Fermat's theorem to non-prime moduli, by using Lagrange's theorem and group theory. As an application of Fermat's theorem we show there are infinitely many prim

The other famous classical theorem about cyclic quadrilaterals is due to the great Greek astronomer and mathematician, Claudius Ptolemy. Adopting a rational point of view, we need to rethink this theorem to state it in a purely algebraic way, without resort to `distances' and the correspon

Mertens Conjecture Disproof and the Riemann Hypothesis | MegaFavNumbers

#MegaFavNumbers The Mertens conjecture is a conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of the prime numbers. It can be seen as a stronger version of the Riemann hypothesis. It says that the Mertens function is bounded by sqrt(n). The Riemann hypothesis on the other hand only require
