Two mathematicians have found a strange pattern in prime numbers—showing that the numbers are not distributed as randomly as theorists often assume. “Every single person we’ve told this ends ...

Katherine Stange partnered with engineering PhD graduate Daniel Martin to create a pattern for an Apollonian circle packing puzzle laser cut from wood; the pattern can be found here. Haag, Kertzer, ...

It looked nothing like what the local-global conjecture would predict. The team met on a Monday after Stange returned. Haag presented her graphs, and they all focused on the one with the weird dots.

The first such non-repeating, or aperiodic, pattern relied on a set of 20,426 different tiles. ... This hypothesis was dubbed the periodic tiling conjecture.

Mathematicians prove the Umbral Moonshine Conjecture Date: December 15, 2014 Source: Emory University Summary: Monstrous moonshine, a quirky pattern of the monster group in theoretical math, has a ...

A pair of mathematicians has solved the first chunk of one of the most famous conjectures about the additive properties of whole numbers. Proposed more than 60 years ago by the legendary Hungarian ...

In Schwartz’s solution to the Halpern-Weaver conjecture, the T-pattern lemma is a critical component. The lemma begins with one basic idea: “Möbius bands, they have these straight lines on them.

Infinitely many copies of a 13-sided shape can be arranged with no overlaps or gaps in a pattern that never repeats. David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig S. Kaplan and Chaim Goodman-Strauss () ...
