To explain why mathematicians do this: If you can engineer new Riemann hypotheses, you can study them as a whole. It's sort of like if we found life from beyond Earth, we would be able to study what "life" even is and how it can be. Now, if we can somehow solve one of these engineered ones, maybe we can use that solution to somehow solve the original one. At least we would have a framework for how it could be done. I do appreciate the joke though! I just thought it's valuable to understand exactly why this stuff is important. Mathematicians don't like to assume something is special, that too has to be proven :)

He was doing calculations in the day time, and banging broads all night long. That’s why hardly anyone has ever even heard of Ramanijuana, and Euler is a hero and role model to literally everyone, everywhere. I mean, for reals, that ninja was such a legend, they even named an NFL team after him, called the Houston Eulers. Maybe when Ramanoodle gets a football team named after him he’ll be famous, too, but I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

I’ve posted in this thread before, and once again I have to say how endearing this humility is to me. It seems to me that if there are infinitely many L-functions all having Reimann type hypotheses, and among them are the much lauded modular forms, then Riemann Hypothesis is not the answer. Rather, it is the observation of a symptom, and the cause is perhaps a deeper, most likely, much simpler idea. Following that line of reasoning, there should also exist a simpler proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. In time I think the elegance and simplicity of this underlying principal will become known, and usher in perhaps the last great advance in our understanding of the object we call mathematics.

If you take enough factors after some amount the coefficcients you get after expanding don't change anymore. For example, let's look at the product: x(1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3)... In every (1-x^n) the 1 basically states "Copy everything", and the x^n produces terms between x^(n+1) and x^(n+n-1), therefore if I would cut off the product at (1-x^3), I can be certain that all coefficients from terms upto x^3 in the final expansion are correct. The same goes for (1-x^n)^24, except that (1-x^n)^24 would produce terms between x^(n+1) and x^(24n+n-1). It takes like 10s to expand the first 200 factors, guaranteeing everything up to x^200 to be correct. (It yields a polynomial of 482 401 terms of which only 200 have the correct coefficients though Lol)

My favourite Numberphile video yet!

Like most "popular" expositions about the Riemann zeta function, this one has a HUGE gap almost from the very start: He begins with the definition of zeta(s) as the sum of a series, which converges only when the real part x of s = x + i y is greater than 1. Next, he states the property of symmetry across the line Real(s) = 1/2; but that makes utterly no sense unless and until one has defined what zeta(s) means when x < 0, and he has not done that.

Wow this Ramanujan was a boss

i think it would be a great idea for a video to proof the euler formula for the zeta-function. It's not too complicated but really smart

It's been a fun ride, mostly my "blow off" problem when I'm not dreaming up new ways to reinvent all of computer science with Homotopy Type Theory, Quantitative Type Theory, and a little something special I call Full Duality. I've tricked myself into thinking I've proved it about once a year. Usually a bit of exploration or redoing the algebra demonstrates my error. I've been stuck on a few lemmas this year, some nasty limits that really look like they should work but just refuse to behave when actually doing the algebra. Maybe I'll nail it down one of these days. Don't count us amateur mathematicians out, the crucial insight might come from not being exposed to the current methodologies.

I think the meaning there is "someone that isn't paid to do math and think about these things all the time." 150 years should have been plenty of time to find the answer if it was going to come from the standard process of iterating combinations of older theorems. As it has not produced an answer, I suspect we need some fresh insight, untainted by the standard mathematical mindset/worldview. That's what he was getting at, I think.

9:30 How did he got from the modular form to an L function?

A proof by Andreas Speiser states that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the absence of non-trivial zeros of the derivative of the ζ(s) function in the strip 0 That reduces the RH to half the critical strip. It means if one can find only one zero of the derivative of ζ(s) in the strip 0 < Re(s) < ½ , then this will be a contradiction if assuming the RH is true.

If analytic continuation extends the domain to a new region where an infinite series becomes divergent then what of the generalisation of the R.H which is the Harmonic series: sigma ( n ) is less than or equal to e ^ H n log H n. What would the singularity of a union between a convergent and divergent series look like if it existed? Where is that space at?

7:12 i read LOL LOL LOL LOL

Imagine Ramanujan living for at least to his fifties.

I am wondering if the sizes of the critical strips change and are not always 1 unit wide. And if so, is there a way to predict the size of the critical strip and then minimize it for a given L function, possibly to one single x point (vertical line)

I've spent years trying to wrap my head around what a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis would even look like, or how long it would have to be. One day...

Well this is well beyond my level..

11:59 "you probably need to know some mathematics to understand that" LOL a bit of an understatement eh?

Fantastic video, thank you

"There are infinite of them." "You said they were rare." Welcome to math.

I can't even find it lol

7:09 Does this still work if we retain the $p=2$ term in the product, thus having terms for even n as well as odd n in the sum, the sign of the "n" term in the sum being determined from the largest odd factor of n? (When I watched this video the first time, I thought you were leaving the 2 term *alone* rather than leaving it *out.)*

Video is really Great! Trank-you very much

math is a game we don't know all the rule. so we play only in the know area. but will give it up for those crazy adventurers who will navigate the unknown sea.

He probably should've clarified that he was talking about all the NON-TRIVIAL zeroes (ignoring -2, -4, -6, etc)

I thought that was in a tiny comment on the video image

How can anyone understand this, and not just be completely blown away? Mind = blown. Awesome. I so love math. Maths.

amazing, what a wonderful explanation, I'll have a look at the pattern.......
