Mysteries of Math and the Langlands Program - Episode 3

The third in a collection of four lectures by Edward Frenkel recorded at MSRI, Berkeley and broadcast on the Japanese TV channel NHK within the Fall of 2015 within the “Luminous Classroom” collection. The lectures went from elementary subjects akin to Pythagoras theorem, prime numbers and symmetries to Galois teams, Fermat’s final theorem and the overall Langlands conjectures, and to the current work connecting the Langlands Program to Quantum Physics. Regardless that the Intro to every episode is in Japanese, the lecture itself is in English.
