Stark conjectures

In number theory, the Stark conjectures, introduced by Stark and later expanded by Tate, give conjectural information about the coefficient of the leading term in the Taylor expansion of an Artin L-function associated with a Galois extension K/k of algebraic number fields. The conjectures generalize the analytic class number formula expressing the leading coefficient of the Taylor series for the Dedekind zeta function of a number field as the product of a regulator related to S-units of the field and a rational number. When K/k is an abelian extension and the order of vanishing of the L-function at s = 0 is one, Stark gave a refinement of his conjecture, predicting the existence of certain S-units, called Stark units. Rubin and Cristian Dumitru Popescu gave extensions of this refined conjecture to higher orders of vanishing. (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

The big mathematics divide: between "exact" and "approximate" | Sociology and Pure Maths | NJW

Modern pure mathematics suffers from a major schism that largely goes unacknowledged: that many aspects of the subject are parading as "exact theories" when in fact they are really only "approximate theories". In this sense they can be viewed either as belonging more properly to applied ma

A (compelling?) reason for the Riemann Hypothesis to be true #SOME2
