They made some progress, re-proving the conjecture in two dimensions using different techniques—ones they hoped would be applicable to the three-dimensional case. But then they hit a wall. “At some ...
An OpenAI model disproved the 80-year-old Erdős unit distance conjecture, and Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine more open problems days later. Together, these AI math breakthroughs mark a ...
Despite multiple conferences dedicated to explicating Mochizuki’s proof, number theorists have struggled to come to grips with its underlying ideas. His series of papers, which total more than 500 ...
