At just 17, homeschooled Bahamas teen Hannah Cairo upended the 40-year-old Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, coming up with a ...

But they were wrong. Last month, a trio of mathematicians announced a counterexample, disproving the conjecture. The result offers fresh guidance on how to approach related problems in physics ...

When Hannah Cairo was 17 years old, she disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a long-standing guess in the field of ...

Hollom found a counterexample to this version of the conjecture. He created a small hypergraph whose edges each connected three vertices: Gladkov came across the paper and realized it was just what ...

Sometimes a counterexample to one conjecture shows the way to disprove other conjectures. In my case, it's more of a proof of concept: I can't see how my counterexample could directly lead to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We construct a counterexample to the "hot spots" conjecture; there exists a bounded connected planar domain (with two holes) such that the ...

Gardam’s discovery of a counterexample to the unit conjecture is oddly reassuring, Kropholler said, because it suggests that this hard work was really needed. “At the very basic core there was always ...
