The Riemann hypothesis provides insights into the distribution of prime
numbers, stating that the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have
a “real part” of one-half. A proof of the hypothesis would be world news and
fetch a $1 million Millennium Prize. In this lecture, Ken Ono will discuss the
mathematical meaning of the Riemann hypothesis and why it matters. Along
the way, he will tell tales of mysteries about prime numbers and highlight
new advances. He will conclude with a discussion of recent joint work with
mathematicians Michael Griffin of Brigham Young University, Larry Rolen of
Georgia Tech, and Don Zagier of the Max Planck Institute, which sheds new light on this famous problem.
