In Search of the Riemann Zeros: Strings, Fractal Membranes and Noncommutative Spacetimes

Couverture
American Mathematical Soc., 2008 - 558 pages
Formulated in 1859, the Riemann Hypothesis is the most celebrated and multifaceted open problem in mathematics. In essence, it states that the primes are distributed as harmoniously as possible--or, equivalently, that the Riemann zeros are located on a single vertical line, called the critical line.
