In 1963 it was proved that a celebrated mathematical hypothesis put forward by Georg Cantor could not be proved. This profound development is explained by analogy with non-Euclidean geometry ...
A mathematical problem solved by Susanna Heikkilä relates to the classification of quasiregularly elliptic 4-manifolds, asking what four-dimensional shapes can be obtained by deforming ...
Researchers have solved a long-standing problem in topology by helping classify four-dimensional shapes (4-manifolds) that ...
