Tuesday, March 11 2025, 4 - 5pm Boyd Research and Education Center, 200 D. W. Brooks Drive, Athens, Room 328 Dr. Larry Guth MIT The Riemann zeta function and the Riemann hypothesisIn Talk 1, we learned about some strange patterns in the prime numbers. In this talk, we try to explain where these strange patterns come from. This leads us to the Riemann zeta function. We also introduce an important open question called the Riemann hypothesis, and discuss how it relates to prime numbers and why it is hard to prove.
