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

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

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

Colin Guillarmou: Segal axioms and resolution of Liouville conformal field theory
HYBRID EVENT Liouville conformal field theory is a 2 dimensional field theory introduced in physics in the 80's. Here we give a probabilistic construction of the amplitudes of Riemann surfaces with boundary for this field theory, and we prove that they satisfy the so called Segal Axioms. T

Some celebrated conjectures of Beilinson, Grothendieck, Kimura, Tate, Voevodsky, Weil, and others, play a key central role in algebraic geometry. Notwithstanding the effort of several generations of mathematicians, the proof of (the majority of) these conjectures remains illusive. The aim

Weil conjectures 5: Lefschetz trace formula
This talk explains the relation between the Lefschetz fixed point formula and the Weil conjectures. More precisely, the zeta function of a variety of a finite field can be written in terms of an action of the Frobenius group on the cohomology groups of the variety. The main problem is then

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

When catching prey underwater snakes use two main techniques: the frontal strike and the lateral strike. By studying real snakes in the lab at ESPCI/MNHN, Marion Segall was able to recreate the setup using a 3D-printed snake head and laser visualisation techniques, which allowed for the fo
