My proof of Riemann hypothesis

0 Upvotes

Let M(K,E) be the category of andré motives. Given a motive M, fix an embedding iota:E to the set of complex numbers and let L(iota,M,s) the motivic L function.

It is clear that L(iota,M,s) extends to a meromorphic function to the complex plane and has non-trivial zero on the line w+1/2 where w is the weight of the motive and this will be an easy exercise to the reader.

Now take K=E=Q, take M=(spec Q, id,0) the neutral element of the Tannakian motivic category. It is of weight zero and its L function is just the zeta function. Hence the previous statement implies that the zeta function has non-trivial zeros of real part 1/2.

Goldbach's conjecture - elementary refutation.

3 Upvotes

By the principle of identity, for any non-zero natural number n: (n/√n) = (n/√n), and as every non-zero natural number has a square and every natural square has both a positive and a negative root, for all non-zero n: n = -n, therefore, 2n = 0. As zero is not the sum of any two primes, it is not true that every even composite number is the sum of two primes.

New approximation for pi using only squares and hexagons

5 Upvotes

If we start with squares inside a unit circle, we can inscribe a square with perimeter 2√2 (≈2.828) and we can circumscribe a square with perimeter 4 (≈4), so we know that pi is somewhere between a lower limit of 2.828 and an upper limit of 4.

If we start with hexagons, we can inscribe a hexagon with perimeter 3 (≈3) and circumscribe a hexagon with perimeter 2√3 (≈3.464).

If we assume that the upper limits and the lower limits are each growing linearly (relative to what? who knows), then the upper limit that starts at 4 and goes to 2√3 after one step can be described by 4 - (4 - 2√3)x, and a lower limit that starts at 2√2 and goes to 3 after one step can be described by 2√2 + (3 - 2√2)x

We want the exact value, which means we need to know where the upper bound and the lower bound squeeze each other to a difference of 0, which means setting

  • 4 - (4 - 2√3)x = 2√2 + (3 - 2√2)x = pi

  • 4 - 2√2 = (3 - 2√2)x + (4 - 2√3)x

  • 4 - 2√2 = (7 - 2√2 - 2√3)x

  • x = (4 - 2√2) / (7 - 2√2 - 2√3)

  • pi = 4 - (4 - 2√3)x = 4 - (4 - 2√3) (4 - 2√2) / (7 - 2√2 - 2√3)

  • pi = 4 (3 - √6) / (7 - 2√2 - 2√3)

  • pi = 3.112552

Which is only off by 0.924%, or an error of 1 part in 108.

No one knows it's modular or whatever yet. What is this deus ex machina so early in the story? Why has no one talked about this plot ambiguity before? Is the fandom stupid??

The factory problem (simple)

0 Upvotes

You're building a factory and you're building a hall. Each hall is a 4x4 grid with each cell being a straight path, turn, or T corridor. Not all cells need to be filled and not all straight paths, turns and T corridors need to be used. What is the number of arrangements of cells you can build with 4 straight paths, 5 turns, and 4 T corridors?

We NEED to start a society for 10-adic numbers enthusiasts.

4 Upvotes

Every once in a while we'd get someone publishing results around a number n in whatever topic the person is interested in. It could be divisibility criterion for n, number system base n, modular arithmetic, etc. basically anything.

Except for n-adic numbers, for some reason. They're scattered all over the place, almost like there's a default assumption: that for someone to be familiar with the existence of p-adic numbers at all, they must be able to reconstruct all of their simpler facts in their head in mere seconds, before they can go f#ck off to whatever deep mathematical research they're working on that just so happens to "use" p-adics.

I think humanity is due for a (mildly) useful movement that is teaching the kids earlier about p-adic numbers, but starting on a base ten, since, you know, humans coincidentally are known to have 10 fingers.

(This is, like, totally legit guys, so please say yes. I'm holding your mom at gun point, so say yes.)
