Edward Frenkel: The Math Proof No One Could Explain Until Now

Edward Frenkel: The Math Proof No One Could Explain Until Now

Edward Frenkel, a leading mathematician at UC Berkeley, explains the Langlands program, its ties to physics, and the search for a single unifying formula. He also shares his personal journey from representation theory to making math accessible to the public.- 00:00 - Intro- 02:14 - Edward’s Background- 07:04 - Robert Langlands- 15:01 - Physics vs. Mathematics- 34:14 - Unification in Math- 45:48 - What Does Math Actually Describe?- 01:02:57 - Langlands Program- 01:22:08 - Counting Problem- 01:25:55 - Harmonic Analysis- 01:33:58 - “One Formula Rules Them All”- 01:51:58 - The Shimura-Taniyama-Weil Conjecture- 01:55:55 - Original Langlands Program- 02:01:22 - A Twist: Langlands Dual Group- 02:01:55 - Rosetta Stone of Math- 02:11:33 - The Pleasure Comes From The Illusion- 02:14:28 - Support TOESPONSORS:- Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal (early access to ad-free audio episodes!)- Crypto: https://tinyurl.com/cryptoTOE- PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/paypalTOE- TOE Merch: https://tinyurl.com/TOEmerchRESOURCES:- YouTube Episode Link: https://youtu.be/RX1tZv_Nv4Y- Become a YouTube Member Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWIQh9DGG6uhJk8eyIFl1w/join- Join TOEmail at https://www.curtjaimungal.org- Edward Frenke's book "Love & Math": https://amzn.to/4dB1URv- Edward Frenkel's book “Langlands Correspondence for Loop Groups”*: https://amzn.to/3Am99xX- Edward Frenkel's ebook (PDF with hyperlinks)*: https://math.berkeley.edu/~frenkel/loop.pdf- Edward Frenkel's Official Website*: https://edwardfrenkel.com- Edward Frenkel's Twitter*: https://twitter.com/edfrenkel- Edward Frenkel's YouTube*: https://www.youtube.com/edfrenkel- Edward Frenkel's Instagram*: https://www.instagram.com/edfrenkel- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theoriesofeverythingpod- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriesofeverything_- Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt- Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs- iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/better-left-unsaid-with-curt-jaimungal/id1521758802- Pandora: https://pdora.co/33b9lfP- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e- Subreddit r/TheoriesOfEverything: https://reddit.com/r/theoriesofeverything Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal features long-form, technically detailed interviews with leading researchers in physics, mathematics, consciousness, and philosophy, exploring topics at the level of active research.
