A mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for more than 10 years in the physics of complex systems has finally been ...

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

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.

AI is now helping produce research-level mathematics, but experts say verifying proofs not generating them is becoming the ...

The same branch of mathematics that helped Einstein to formulate his theory of general relativity could now allow scientists to peer with unprecedented accuracy into impenetrable objects—such as the ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

For ages, countless mathematicians have advanced mathematics through proofs. This is because proof is a key tool for developing new theories and solving problems. That’s why a discussion about proofs ...
