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:
“One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
