Weil's conjecture on Tamagawa numbers

In mathematics, the Weil conjecture on Tamagawa numbers is the statement that the Tamagawa number of a simply connected simple algebraic group defined over a number field is 1. In this case, simply connected means "not having a proper algebraic covering" in the algebraic group theory sense, which is not always the topologists' meaning. (Wikipedia).

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

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
