Welcome to the OU Mathematics Department!
Spotlight
Assistant Professor Ameya Pitale is a member of the OU mathematics faculty since fall 2010. His research area is Number Theory, Automorphic Forms, Representation Theory and L-functions.
The simplest example of an L-function is the famous Riemann zeta function,
ζ(s)=Σn≥1 n-s,
where s is a complex variable. Bernhard Riemann conjectured in 1859 that the non-trivial zeros of the analytically continued zeta function all have real part 1/2. Today this is known as the Riemann Hypothesis, and is one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics. If Professor Pitale can solve it, he will win one million dollars.
