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

Ramification in Iwasawa Modules - Chandrashekar Khare
Chandrashekar Khare Institute for Advanced Study December 15, 2010 Iwasawa developed his theory for class groups in towers of cyclotomic fields partly in analogy with Weil's theory of curves over finite fields. In this talk, we present another such conjectural analogy. It seems intertwined

Ptolemy's theorem and generalizations | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 131 | NJ Wildberger
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

Weil conjectures 4 Fermat hypersurfaces
This talk is part of a series on the Weil conjectures. We give a summary of Weil's paper where he introduced the Weil conjectures by calculating the zeta function of a Fermat hypersurface. We give an overview of how Weil expressed the number of points of a variety in terms of Gauss sums. T

#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

Theory of numbers: Fermat's theorem
This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Fermat's theorem a^p = a mod p. We then define the order of a number mod p and use Fermat's theorem to show the order of a divides p-1. We apply this to testing some Fermat and Mersenne numbers to se

Giles Gardam - Kaplansky's conjectures
Kaplansky made various related conjectures about group rings, especially for torsion-free groups. For example, the zero divisors conjecture predicts that if K is a field and G is a torsion-free group, then the group ring K[G] has no zero divisors. I will survey what is known about the conj
