University of Copenhagen researchers Asger Dag Törnquist and David Schrittesser solved the long-standing problem of an 'ever-winning lottery ticket.' They found that complete coincidence does not exist in lottery numbers, preventing the existence of a winning ticket. The team's solution confirms Mathias' 1969 hypothesis.
The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) recognizes Tom Leinster for his outstanding expository article 'Rethinking Set Theory' with the MAA Chauvenet Prize. Cathy O'Neill wins the MAA Euler Book Prize for her book 'Weapons of Math Destruction', tackling data science's social and political implications.
A new project aims to investigate the effects of the forcing technique on mathematics and philosophy, promising a revolutionary paradigm shift. The funding of about 900,000 euros will support Carolin Antos' research for five years.
Case Western Reserve University professor Colin McLarty has simplified the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by using only finite-order arithmetic, reducing reliance on strong set theory. This breakthrough, inspired by Grothendieck's work, opens new avenues for number theorists to tackle similar problems.
