What's a notable contribution of Emil Artin in number theory?

  • Prime Number Theorem

  • Artin's Reciprocity Law

  • Fermat's Last Theorem

  • PoincarĂ© Conjecture

Answer

Artin's Reciprocity Law, formulated by Emil Artin in 1927, is a profound mathematical theorem in number theory. It establishes a deep and intricate relationship between the behavior of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions and the properties of quadratic reciprocity, a fundamental concept concerning divisibility and remainders. Artin's breakthrough elegantly unifies various reciprocity laws, providing a powerful tool to study the distribution and properties of prime numbers.
