With last week’s announcements of the 2024 Nobel Prize winners, I wanted to dedicate an article to the major accolades that honor achievements and contributions in mathematics. While Alfred Nobel did ...
Proof of the conjecture -- commonly viewed as one of the most outstanding challenges in a field of math known as the representation theory of finite groups -- was published in the September issue ...
This approach is actually tied to a famous debate in mathematics. It’s not my lack of decisiveness that would provoke a mathematician’s ire (unless they were standing behind me in line).
Proof of the conjecture—commonly viewed as one of the most outstanding challenges in a field of math known as the representation theory of finite groups—is published in the Annals of Mathematics.
Both breakthroughs are advances in the field of representation theory of finite groups, a subset of algebra. Representation theory is an important tool in many areas of math, including number ...
