Theorems in algebraic geometry | Conjectures that have been proved | Algebraic curves | Vector bundles
In algebraic geometry, Lange's conjecture is a theorem about stability of vector bundles over curves, introduced by and proved by Montserrat Teixidor i Bigas and in 1999. (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

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

A (compelling?) reason for the Riemann Hypothesis to be true #SOME2
A visual walkthrough of the Riemann Zeta function and a claim of a good reason for the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis. This is not a formal proof but I believe the line of argument could lead to a formal proof.

Theory of numbers: Gauss's lemma
This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We describe Gauss's lemma which gives a useful criterion for whether a number n is a quadratic residue of a prime p. We work it out explicitly for n = -1, 2 and 3, and as an application prove some cases of Di

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

Abstract : For a non-principal Dirichlet character χ modulo q, the classical Pólya-Vinogradov inequality asserts that M(χ):=maxx|∑n≤xχ(n)|=O(q‾√log q). This was improved to q‾√log log q by Montgomery and Vaughan, assuming the Generalized Riemann hypothesis GRH. For quadratic characters, th
