Iwasawa theory investigates the variation of arithmetic invariants—such as class groups and Selmer groups—along infinite towers of number fields, most classically the cyclotomic Z p-extension of the ...
Partition theory studies the ways in which a positive integer can be expressed as a sum of positive integers, without regard to order. Originating in the work of Euler, it has evolved through the ...
A new breakthrough that bridges number theory and geometry is just the latest triumph for a close-knit group of mathematicians. One of the first collaborations Xinyi Yuan and Wei Zhang ever undertook ...
A prime number theory equation by mathematics professor emeritus Carl Pomerance turned up on The Big Bang Theory, where it was scrawled on a white board in the background of the hit sitcom about a ...
