A mystery of mathematics that has remained unsolved for more than 150 years can be unraveled thanks to a completely unexpected approach coming from statistical physics. This is the important ...
The Millennium Prize Problems, announced in 2000 by the Clay Mathematics Institute in the United States, are problems with a prize of $1 million (approximately 160 million yen). One of these problems ...
This article is more than 8 years old. So what? Riemann was interested in the distribution of prime numbers and he discovered a formula for the number of primes less than or equal to a given integer ...
If two physicists are right, a single electron might know more about numbers than all of the world’s mathematicians. In an upcoming Physical Review Letters, the researchers hint that the dynamics of ...

‘Million dollar problem’: Has the great maths mystery called Riemann hypothesis finally been solved?
Over the past few days, the mathematics world has been abuzz that Sir Michael Atiyah, the famous Fields Medalist and Abel Prize winner, may have solved the Riemann hypothesis. If his proof turns out ...
Prime numbers are maddeningly capricious. They clump together like buddies on some regions of the number line, but in other areas, nary a prime can be found. So number theorists can’t even roughly ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract S. Chowla conjectured that if $p = m^2 + 1$ is prime and $m > 26$, then $h_K$, the class number of $K = Q ...
