In mathematics, the grand Riemann hypothesis is a generalisation of the Riemann hypothesis and Generalized Riemann hypothesis. It states that the nontrivial zeros of all automorphic L-functions lie on the critical line 1/2 + it with t a real number variable and i the imaginary unit.
The modified grand Riemann hypothesis is the assertion that the nontrivial zeros of all automorphic L-functions lie on the critical line or the real line.
Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or hypothesis:
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
—Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
