Brocard's conjecture

In number theory, Brocard's conjecture is the conjecture that there are at least four prime numbers between (pn)2 and (pn+1)2, where pn is the nth prime number, for every n ≥ 2. The conjecture is named after Henri Brocard. It is widely believed that this conjecture is true. However, it remains unproven as of 2022. The number of primes between prime squares is 2, 5, 6, 15, 9, 22, 11, 27, ... OEIS: . Legendre's conjecture that there is a prime between consecutive integer squares directly implies that there are at least two primes between prime squares for pn ≥ 3 since pn+1 − pn ≥ 2. (Wikipedia).

Ulrich Berger: On the Computational content of Brouwer's Theorem

The lecture was held within the framework of the Hausdorff Trimester Program: Constructive Mathematics. Abstract: The usual formulation of Brouwer's Theorem ('every bar is inductive')involves quantification over infinite sequences of natural numbers. We propose an alternative formulation

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Ptolemy's theorem and generalizations | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 131 | NJ Wildberger

The other famous classical theorem about cyclic quadrilaterals is due to the great Greek astronomer and mathematician, Claudius Ptolemy. Adopting a rational point of view, we need to rethink this theorem to state it in a purely algebraic way, without resort to `distances' and the correspon

Galois theory: Introduction

This lecture is part of an online course on Galois theory. This is an introductory lecture, giving an informal overview of Galois theory. We discuss some historical examples of problems that it was used to solve, such as the Abel-Ruffini theorem that degree 5 polynomials cannot in genera

The de Broglie Equation and Why There Is No Wave-Particle Duality

The wave-particle duality seems to used all the time to explain quantum mechanics to the public, but it is one of my pet peeves. It represents an outmoded way of thinking (old quantum theory), which is replaced by our current understanding of the wavefunction (new quantum theory). I explai

A (compelling?) reason for the Riemann Hypothesis to be true #SOME2

A visual walkthrough of the Riemann Zeta function and a claim of a good reason for the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis. This is not a formal proof but I believe the line of argument could lead to a formal proof.

Giles Gardam - Kaplansky's conjectures

Kaplansky made various related conjectures about group rings, especially for torsion-free groups. For example, the zero divisors conjecture predicts that if K is a field and G is a torsion-free group, then the group ring K[G] has no zero divisors. I will survey what is known about the conj
