It’s 10 years since the Brexit vote – and it’s also another one of those weeks in British politics … you asked our political columnist questions about a Burnham government, rejoining the EU, and more ...

Almost a century ago, a mathematician came up with a puzzle that was so seemingly simple and yet so fiendishly difficult that it has been distracting other mathematicians ever since. It has become a ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.

A 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong. Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall. For ...

This workshop focuses on recent advances around the (co-)homology of general linear and related groups. These basic topological invariants are, for example, related to questions in algebraic K-theory ...

There are several interesting models in the literature that can be constructed by the cut-and-paste technique of the space-like thin shells. The space-like thin shell region is usually understood as a ...

At first glance, the problem seems ridiculously simple. And yet experts have been searching for a solution in vain for decades. According to mathematician Jeffrey Lagarias, number theorist Shizuo ...

Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links ...

The effective reproduction number quantifies the average number of secondary infections caused by an infected individual (within the population of their own resident community, or anywhere else) when ...
