Hannah Cairo has solved the so-called Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a problem in harmonic analysis closely linked to other ...

Mathematician Joshua Zahl made headlines for solving the 100-year-old math problem Kakeya conjecture. He is now leaving ...

Measured against that, the Kakeya conjecture – a problem stemming from a 1917 thought experiment by Japanese mathematician ...

A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Mathematicians have now made one that’s stable only on one side, confirming a ...

Joshua Zahl, the American mathematician who recently solved the century-old Kakeya conjecture, is leaving Canada's UBC for a ...

Arithmetic geometry is a vibrant field at the intersection of number theory and algebraic geometry, focussing on the study of polynomial equations and the distribution of their rational solutions ...

Petrilli: Recessions nudge smart college grads toward reliable, safe careers in education. Artificial intelligence ...

But these solutions are interrelated in rich and complicated ways, and they show up in many of number theory’s most important questions. The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, for instance — one of ...

Mathematics Dennis Gaitsgory wins the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics for his central role in the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture. The Langlands program is a broad research program ...

It’s known as the “alien language” of math, so weird and complex that even the best minds around struggle to fathom it. But now, it has a new translator – and its fans are excited.

The problem is so confusing that even its proposed solution, the Inter-universal Teichmüller Theory (IUT), has been difficult for experts to understand. Recently, an expert published his understanding ...
