Number theory in physics

This summer I was expecting to be working mainly on an extended field theory and geometry project as well as pushing toward the conclusion of a study on double sigma models. But somewhat unexpectedly I've found myself also working on some interesting things at the interface of number theory and physics. It has to do …

Jensen Polynomials, the Riemann-zeta Function, and SYK

A new paper by Michael Griffin, Ken Ono, Larry Rolen, and Don Zagier appears to have a made some intriguing steps when it comes to the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). The paper is titled, 'Jensen polynomials for the Riemann zeta function and other sequences'. The preprint originally appeared in arXiv [arXiv:1902.07321 [math.NT]] in February 2019. It …
