  2. Jacobi sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_sum

    In mathematics, a Jacobi sum is a type of character sum formed with Dirichlet characters. Simple examples would be Jacobi sums J ( χ , ψ ) for Dirichlet characters χ , ψ modulo a prime number p , defined by

  3. Jacobian conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_conjecture

    It was first conjectured in 1939 by Ott-Heinrich Keller, [1] and widely publicized by Shreeram Abhyankar, as an example of a difficult question in algebraic geometry that can be understood using little beyond a knowledge of calculus. The Jacobian conjecture is notorious for the large number of attempted proofs that turned out to contain subtle ...

  4. Primes in arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primes_in_arithmetic...

    In number theory, primes in arithmetic progression are any sequence of at least three prime numbers that are consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression. An example is the sequence of primes (3, 7, 11), which is given by a n = 3 + 4 n {\displaystyle a_{n}=3+4n} for 0 ≤ n ≤ 2 {\displaystyle 0\leq n\leq 2} .

  5. Vinogradov's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinogradov's_theorem

    In number theory, Vinogradov's theorem is a result which implies that any sufficiently large odd integer can be written as a sum of three prime numbers.It is a weaker form of Goldbach's weak conjecture, which would imply the existence of such a representation for all odd integers greater than five.

  6. Jacobi symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_symbol

    If the "numerator" is 1, rules 3 and 4 give a result of 1. If the "numerator" and "denominator" are not coprime, rule 3 gives a result of 0. Otherwise, the "numerator" and "denominator" are now odd positive coprime integers, so we can flip the symbol using rule 6, then return to step 1. In addition to the codes below, Riesel [4] has it in Pascal.

  7. Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_theorem_on...

    Sequences dn + a with odd d are often ignored because half the numbers are even and the other half is the same numbers as a sequence with 2d, if we start with n = 0. For example, 6n + 1 produces the same primes as 3n + 1, while 6n + 5 produces the same as 3n + 2 except for the only even prime 2. The following table lists several arithmetic ...

  8. Nome (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nome_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, specifically the theory of elliptic functions, the nome is a special function that belongs to the non-elementary functions. This function is of great importance in the description of the elliptic functions, especially in the description of the modular identity of the Jacobi theta function, the Hermite elliptic transcendents and the Weber modular functions, that are used for ...

  9. Abelian variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abelian_variety

    The abelian variety J is called the Jacobian variety of C, for any non-singular curve C over the complex numbers. From the point of view of birational geometry , its function field is the fixed field of the symmetric group on g letters acting on the function field of C g {\displaystyle C^{g}} .
