There is a mathematician who has been sweeping up virtually every mathematics award from 2016 to 2017. Professor Maryna Viazovska, who was an ordinary postdoctoral researcher until 2015, instantly ...

Bondarenko, Viazovska, and Radchenko looked to modular forms to try to construct a magic function, but for a long time they made little progress. Eventually Bondarenko and Radchenko turned their ...

Using “refreshingly old” tools, mathematicians resolved a 50-year-old conjecture about how to categorize important functions called modular forms, with consequences for number theory and theoretical ...
