Conjectures that have been proved | Symmetry

Zimmer's conjecture

Zimmer's conjecture is a statement in mathematics "which has to do with the circumstances under which geometric spaces exhibit certain kinds of symmetries." It was named after the mathematician Robert Zimmer. The conjecture states that there can exist symmetries (specifically ) in a higher dimension that cannot exist in lower dimensions. In 2017, the conjecture was proven by Aaron Brown and Sebastián Hurtado-Salazar of the University of Chicago and David Fisher of Indiana University. (Wikipedia).

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

Dimitri Zvonkine - On two ELSV formulas

The ELSV formula (discovered by Ekedahl, Lando, Shapiro and Vainshtein) is an equality between two numbers. The first one is a Hurwitz number that can be defined as the number of factorizations of a given permutation into transpositions. The second is the integral of a characteristic class

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

(Optional lecture) - Towards a classification of adelic Galois representations of elliptic curves

This is a lecture I gave at Zagreb's Number Theory Seminar, on Feb 25, 2021, on adelic Galois representations. While not a part of the graduate course on elliptic curves, it is a nice complement to some of the material we have seen on the Tate module.
