The seven selected problems span a number of mathematical fields, namely algebraic geometry, arithmetic geometry, geometric topology, mathematical physics, number theory, partial differential equations, and theoretical computer science. Unlike Hilbert's problems, the problems selected by the Clay Institute were already renowned among ...
Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.
Yuri Manin (1937–2023) – algebraic geometry and diophantine geometry; Vladimir Arnold (1937–2010) – algebraic geometry; Ernest Vinberg (1937–2020) J. H. Conway (1937–2020) – sphere packing, recreational geometry; Robin Hartshorne (1938–) – geometry, algebraic geometry; Phillip Griffiths (1938–) – algebraic geometry ...
Goldbach’s Conjecture. One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in math is also very easy to write. Goldbach’s Conjecture is, “Every even number (greater than two) is the sum of two primes ...

Another no-go theorem concerning hidden-variable theories is the Kochen–Specker theorem. Physicists such as Alain Aspect and Paul Kwiat have performed experiments that have found violations of these inequalities up to 242 standard deviations. [29] This rules out local hidden-variable theories, but does not rule out non-local ones.
The conjecture claims that any convex, closed and sufficiently smooth surface in three dimensional Euclidean space needs to admit at least two umbilic points.In the sense of the conjecture, the spheroid with only two umbilic points and the sphere, all points of which are umbilic, are examples of surfaces with minimal and maximal numbers of the umbilicus.
Physicist Max Tegmark argued that the effectiveness of mathematics in describing external physical reality is because the physical world is an abstract mathematical structure. [ 8 ] [ 15 ] This theory, referred to as the mathematical universe hypothesis , mirrors ideas previously advanced by Peter Atkins . [ 16 ]
