In category theory, what is the name of the category whose objects are sets and whose morphisms are functions?

  1. Category of Sets

  2. Category of Functions

  3. Category of Relations

  4. Category of Groups


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The category of sets is a fundamental category in category theory, and it is often used as an example to illustrate the basic concepts of the theory.

What is the name of the functor that maps a set to its power set?

  1. Power Set Functor

  2. Exponential Functor

  3. Hom Functor

  4. Yoneda Embedding


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The power set functor is a functor that maps a set $X$ to the set of all subsets of $X$, denoted by $P(X)$.

In number theory, what is the name of the theorem that states that every positive integer can be written as a product of prime numbers?

  1. Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

  2. Goldbach's Conjecture

  3. Fermat's Last Theorem

  4. Riemann Hypothesis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that every positive integer can be written as a product of prime numbers, and that this factorization is unique up to the order of the factors.

What is the name of the conjecture that states that every even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes?

  1. Goldbach's Conjecture

  2. Fermat's Last Theorem

  3. Riemann Hypothesis

  4. P versus NP


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Goldbach's Conjecture states that every even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes. This conjecture has been proven for all even numbers up to 4³10^{18}, but it remains unproven in general.

What is the name of the theorem that states that there are infinitely many prime numbers?

  1. Euclid's Theorem

  2. Fermat's Last Theorem

  3. Riemann Hypothesis

  4. P versus NP


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Euclid's Theorem states that there are infinitely many prime numbers. This theorem was first proven by Euclid in his book Elements, and it is one of the most important results in number theory.

What is the name of the hypothesis that states that the Riemann zeta function has no zeros on the line $Re(s) = 1/2$?

  1. Goldbach's Conjecture

  2. Fermat's Last Theorem

  3. Riemann Hypothesis

  4. P versus NP


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Riemann Hypothesis states that the Riemann zeta function has no zeros on the line $Re(s) = 1/2$. This hypothesis is one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics, and it has implications for many areas of mathematics, including number theory, analysis, and physics.

What is the name of the problem that asks whether there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for determining whether a given integer is prime?

  1. Goldbach's Conjecture

  2. Fermat's Last Theorem

  3. Riemann Hypothesis

  4. P versus NP


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The P versus NP problem asks whether there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for determining whether a given integer is prime. This problem is one of the most important unsolved problems in computer science, and it has implications for many areas of computer science, including cryptography, optimization, and artificial intelligence.

What is the name of the theorem that states that every integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of powers of distinct primes?

  1. Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

  2. Goldbach's Conjecture

  3. Fermat's Last Theorem

  4. Riemann Hypothesis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that every integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of powers of distinct primes, and that this factorization is unique up to the order of the factors.

What is the name of the theorem that states that there are infinitely many twin primes?

  1. Goldbach's Conjecture

  2. Fermat's Last Theorem

  3. Riemann Hypothesis

  4. Hardy–Littlewood conjecture


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Hardy–Littlewood conjecture states that there are infinitely many twin primes, which are pairs of prime numbers that differ by 2.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges?

  1. Goldbach's Conjecture

  2. Fermat's Last Theorem

  3. Riemann Hypothesis

  4. Euler's product formula


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Euler's product formula states that the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges.

  1. Goldbach's Conjecture

  2. Fermat's Last Theorem

  3. Lagrange's four-square theorem

  4. Riemann Hypothesis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lagrange's four-square theorem states that every positive integer can be written as a sum of four squares.
