Has the Riemann Hypothesis been proven?

Sun, 23 Sep 2018 08:35:00 +0100

Tomorrow could be an exciting moment in the history of maths. Sir Michael Atiyah is presenting a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum which will be available on their youtube channel. There is a good angle by Ken Regan on the Gödel’s Lost Letter blog.

The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics and the subject of one of my favourite books about maths: Prime Obsession.

An afternoon with two Fields Medallists

On Saturday I attended an excellent discussion at the Tate modern which was part of a series of lectures on Topology. The first part was a screening of Au Bonheur des Maths, a film by Raymond Depardon and Claudine Nougaret which is a collection of portraits of famous mathematicians describing beauty in mathematics. The second part was a discussion on the same topic between Sir Michael Atiyah and Cédric Villani, both winners of the Fields Medal. You can read a review of the event at Tony Mann’s maths blog.
