Title: A Fractal Approach to
the Riemann Hypothesis
Abstract: "Can one hear
if a fractal string is Minkowski measurable?" This question provides a
surprising reformulation of the famous Millennium Problem known as the
Riemann Hypothesis. In this talk we will look at the Riemann
Hypothesis, which investigates the distribution of the prime numbers,
through the window of the spectra and complex dimensions of fractal
strings.
