Abstract: We first give two proofs of the infinitude of primes using topology and geometry. Then, we will see the connection between the Riemann zeta function and the reciprocal sum of prime numbers. Lastly, we will discuss how this idea leads us to Dirichlet’s theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions.
