Algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds together form a foundational pillar of modern mathematics, interweaving geometric intuition with algebraic precision. Algebraic geometry studies ...
A mathematical problem solved by Susanna Heikkilä relates to the classification of quasiregularly elliptic 4-manifolds, asking what four-dimensional shapes can be obtained by deforming ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Standing in the middle of a field, we can easily forget that we live on a round planet. We’re so small in comparison to the Earth that ...
