  2. Millennium Prize Problems - Wikipedia

    The conjecture is that there is a simple way to tell whether such equations have a finite or infinite number of rational solutions. More specifically, the Millennium Prize version of the conjecture is that, if the elliptic curve E has rank r, then the L-function L(E, s) associated with it vanishes to order r at s = 1.

  3. Riemann hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis

    Denjoy's probabilistic argument for the Riemann hypothesis [33] is based on the observation that if μ(x) is a random sequence of "1"s and "−1"s then, for every ε > 0, the partial sums = (the values of which are positions in a simple random walk) satisfy the bound () = (/ +) with probability 1. The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to this ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

    A hypothesis is a conjecture based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question. Hypotheses can be very specific or broad but must be falsifiable , implying that it is possible to identify a possible outcome of an experiment or observation that conflicts with predictions deduced from the hypothesis; otherwise, the hypothesis ...

  5. Conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjecture

    In mathematics, a conjecture is a conclusion or a proposition that is proffered on a tentative basis without proof. [1] [2] [3] Some conjectures, such as the Riemann hypothesis or Fermat's conjecture (now a theorem, proven in 1995 by Andrew Wiles), have shaped much of mathematical history as new areas of mathematics are developed in order to ...

  6. Category:Conjectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Conjectures

    A conjecture is a proposition that is unproven. Conjectures are related to hypotheses , which in science are empirically testable conjectures. In mathematics , a conjecture is an unproven proposition that appears correct.

  7. Generalized Riemann hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Riemann_hypothesis

    The extended Riemann hypothesis asserts that for every number field K and every complex number s with ζ K (s) = 0: if the real part of s is between 0 and 1, then it is in fact 1/2. The ordinary Riemann hypothesis follows from the extended one if one takes the number field to be Q, with ring of integers Z.

  8. Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis

    The hypothesis of Andreas Cellarius, showing the planetary motions in eccentric and epicyclical orbits. A hypothesis (pl.: hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. A scientific hypothesis must be based on observations and make a testable and reproducible prediction about reality, in a process beginning with an educated guess or ...

  9. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    The typical steps involved in performing a frequentist hypothesis test in practice are: Define a hypothesis (claim which is testable using data). Select a relevant statistical test with associated test statistic T. Derive the distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis from the assumptions.
