Using AI and computer automation, Technion researchers have developed a 'conjecture generator' that creates mathematical conjectures, which are considered to be the starting point for developing ...
The starting point for rigorous reasoning in mathematics is a system of axioms. An axiom is a statement that is assumed, without demonstration, to be true. It is usually self-evident, for example, ...
On May 20, 2026, OpenAI announced that its internal AI model had disproven a long-held prediction regarding the 'unit distance problem,' a central unsolved problem in discrete geometry. The unit ...
University of Florida provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation US. What happens when someone claims to have proved a famous conjecture? Well, it depends. When a paper is submitted, ...
It’s an educated guess, not a proof. But a good conjecture will guide math forward, pointing the way into the mathematical unknown. Mountain climbing is a beloved metaphor for mathematical research.
Scientists recently announced progress on an elusive problem from 1960 known as the Sunflower Conjecture. While it doesn’t involve any plant biology, it does deal with objects called “mathematical ...
A Chinese AI framework from Peking University has autonomously solved and formally verified a 2014 conjecture in commutative algebra posed by late US mathematician Dan Anderson. The dual-agent system, ...
