Project Details
Description
The distribution of prime numbers, numbers that are only divisible by themselves and 1, is intimately connected with the properties of the Riemann zeta-function. Determining the precise behaviour of the Riemann zeta-function is one of the greatest challenges of mathematics. If one could improve the estimate on the growth of the Riemann zeta-function, one would immediately improve many long-standing results concerning prime numbers. This improved estimate would also ease the computational investigation of more general functions, the study of which seems to be a promising method of attacking the Riemann hypothesis, a conjecture still unverified after 150 years. The purpose of this project is to provide such an estimate.
