Abstract

The Riemann zeta function, introduced by Bernhard Riemann in 1859, plays a significant role in prime number theory. The Riemann Hypothesis—the conjecture that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function have real part ½—is one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics. In this talk, I will discuss what we currently know about this function, focusing on the distribution of its zeros and on the moments of the zeta function. Graduate students are welcome.
