Pierre Deligne netted the prize, one oft he most prestigious in mathematics and worth about $1 million, for proving a deep conjecture about algebraic geometry which has helped to transform number ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of the recent work by ...

Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry. It can be seen as the study of solution sets of systems of polynomials.

A research team led by Maxim Kontsevich, a professor at the French Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies (IHES) and a 1998 Fields Medalist, has released a proof claiming to solve a long-standing pr ...

Can artificial intelligence allow computers to ensure safe autonomous systems and advance optimization? Two Princeton professors believe it can, and they received a research grant earlier this year to ...

The recipient of the 2024 Crafoord Prize in Mathematics discusses math as art, math as language, and math as abstract thought. It took a long time for Claire Voisin to fall in love with mathematics.

Algebraic and differential geometry stand as two intertwined pillars of modern mathematics. Whereas algebraic geometry investigates the solution sets of polynomial equations using the refined language ...
