Numbers like π, e and φ often turn up in unexpected places in science and mathematics. Pascal's triangle and the Fibonacci sequence also seem inexplicably widespread in nature. Then there's the Riemann zeta function, a deceptively straightforward function that has perplexed mathematicians since the 19th century. The most famous quandary, the Riemann hypothesis, is perhaps the greatest unsolved question in mathematics, with the Clay Mathematics Institute offering a $1 million prize for a correct proof. https://phys.org/news/2022-01-quantum-zeta-epiphany-physicist-approach.html General Physics Wed, 19 Jan 2022 13:12:41 EST news561820354 The Riemann hypothesis raised in 1859 is one of the six unsolved Millennium problems, and its proof greatly facilitate the understanding of the distribution laws of prime numbers. For a long time, there has been a growing academic focus on the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. This enables physicists to reproduce prime numbers and inspires them to discover the essence of Riemann hypothesis with a feasible quantum approach. https://phys.org/news/2021-08-riemann-zeros-accurately.html Quantum Physics Wed, 11 Aug 2021 09:42:58 EDT news547893776 Over the past few days, the mathematics world has been abuzz over the news that Sir Michael Atiyah, the famous Fields Medalist and Abel Prize winner, claims to have solved the Riemann hypothesis. https://phys.org/news/2018-09-math-greatest-mysteries-riemann-hypothesis.html Mathematics Fri, 28 Sep 2018 08:30:03 EDT news457342199 (Phys.org)—Like a ship plowing through still waters, the giant star Zeta Ophiuchi is speeding through space, making waves in the dust ahead. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured a dramatic, infrared portrait of these glowing waves, also known as a bow shock. https://phys.org/news/2012-12-shot-companion-giant-star.html Astronomy Wed, 19 Dec 2012 07:07:41 EST news275123242
