Hanna Neumann conjecture

In the mathematical subject of group theory, the Hanna Neumann conjecture is a statement about the rank of the intersection of two finitely generated subgroups of a free group. The conjecture was posed by Hanna Neumann in 1957.In 2011, a strengthened version of the conjecture (see ) was proved independently by Joel Friedmanand by Igor Mineyev. In 2017, a third proof of the Strengthened Hanna Neumann conjecture, based on homological arguments inspired by pro-p-group considerations, was published by Andrei Jaikin-Zapirain. (Wikipedia).

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

Ignat Soroko: Intersections and joins of subgroups in free groups

Abstract : The famous Hanna Neumann Conjecture (now the Friedman--Mineyev theorem) gives an upper bound for the ranks of the intersection of arbitrary subgroups H and K of a non-abelian free group. It is an interesting question to `quantify' this bound with respect to the rank of the join

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

The Riemann Hypothesis and a New Math Tool (a new Indeterminate form)

In this video, you will see a mistake made by many(*) mathematicians. Also, you will see a simple proof for a new(**) indeterminate form that has an incredible connection to the Riemann hypothesis. Lastly, you will see a route to a new promising math tool to solve problems like the Rieman

The Pattern to Prime Numbers?

In this video, we explore the "pattern" to prime numbers. I go over the Euler product formula, the prime number theorem and the connection between the Riemann zeta function and primes. Here's a video on a similar topic by Numberphile if you're interested: https://youtu.be/uvMGZb0Suyc The
