Your question is very relevant and I think the answer is yes, in the following sense. One of the features of Connes' program for Riemann hypothesis (which is after all about the distribution of primes) is that to understand the set of primes one is `forced' to do geometry, topology, and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912603287930240451.post-37640603611873108842007-03-02T13:06:00.000+00:002007-03-02T13:06:00.000+00:00This paper by Lu and Steinhardt is apparently avai...This paper by Lu and Steinhardt is apparently available on Lu's website <A HREF="http://www.physics.harvard.edu/~plu/publications/Science_315_1106_2007.pdf" REL="nofollow">here</A> <BR/> an additionnal material <A HREF="http://www.physics.harvard.edu/~plu/publications/Science_315_1106_2007_SOM.pdf" REL="nofollow">here</A>. <BR/><BR/>A related question from a beginner: is there a relation betweenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
