Hyperbolic space is a Pringle-like alternative to flat, Euclidean geometry where the normal rules don’t apply: angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees and Euclid’s parallel postulate, ...

We consider a Brownian bridge on the hyperbolic plane with one extremity tending to infinity, in finite time. We show that the exact exponential rate according to which this process concentrates ...

Even the most brilliant innovators get their inspiration from somewhere. For the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, such a creative impetus came from a particular illustration in a 1957 mathematical ...

Atomic interactions in everyday solids and liquids are so complex that some of these materials’ properties continue to elude physicists’ understanding. Solving the problems mathematically is beyond ...

On a Thursday night in Ithaca, New York, Daina Taimina, an ebullient blond mathematician at Cornell University, sits at her kitchen table with her husband, David Henderson, a Cornell professor of ...

Yes, it’s a crocheted coral reef. But don’t laugh. These sumptuous swirls of wool hide some serious geometry. It all started in the mathematics department at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, ...

Building on previous work that realized Euclidean lattice models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) and interconnected networks of superconducting microwave resonators, researchers at ...
