| Jun 17, 2017 at 16:38 | comment | added | David G. Stork | In accepting this solution (and awarding the reputation points), I'm relying somewhat upon the endorsements of those who voted it up. I've read some background on the Ramanujan conjecture and Deligne's proof and indeed I am impressed by the range of techniques brought to bear. I must confess that I suspect there remain other results that rely on an even broader range (geometric, for instance), and I will keep my eyes open for such results. | |

| Jun 12, 2017 at 17:21 | comment | added | David G. Stork | I want to stress that the application to "real-world" problems or "practical applications" is irrelevant to the question. | |
| Jun 12, 2017 at 7:56 | comment | added | Lennart Meier | Ramanujan graphs are special classes of expander graphs (googling will give you some "real world applications" of these). More specifically, you can apply Ramanujan graphs in cryptography, see e.g. here: whitman.edu/Documents/Academics/Mathematics/2014/maricqaj.pdf | |
| Jun 12, 2017 at 5:14 | comment | added | I should change my Username | Is there a real world example of the usage of Ramanujan Conjecture in practical applications? Wiki states application as for the construction of "Ramanujan Graphs" but no real world example. | |
| Jun 10, 2017 at 17:31 | comment | added | Libli | Probably. So another exmple to single out. | |
| Jun 10, 2017 at 12:27 | comment | added | Deane Yang | Didn't the Wiles Theorem require all of this too? | |
