Quantum Yang-Mills Theory

  [Editor: This is next part in our series of articles on the Millennium Problems.] In classical physics, there were two kinds of entities, material particles governed by Newtonian mechanics and fields governed by appropriate field equations eg Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetic field. However just before and after the beginning of the twentieth century, experimental [...]

Hodge Conjecture

  [Editor: This is the next part in our series on the Millennium Problems. William Vallance Douglas Hodge FRS (17 June 1903 – 7 July 1975) was a Scottish mathematician, specifically a geometer. His discovery of far-reaching topological relations between algebraic geometry and differential geometry—an area now called Hodge theory and pertaining more generally to [...]

Poincare Conjecture

[Editor's Note: Jules Henri Poincaré (29 April 1854 – 17 July 1912) was a French mathematician, theoretical physicist, engineer, and a philosopher of science. He is often described as a polymath, and in mathematics as The Last Universalist, since he excelled in all fields of the discipline as it existed during his lifetime. This is the second problem discussed under the Millennium Problem series.] Since the days [...]

Riemann’s Hypothesis

  [Editor: This is the second post in a series about the Millenium Problems. This post is about the Riemann Hypothesis, probably the single most fascinating unsolved problem in all of mathematics. This hypothesis was first proposed by the mathematician Bernhard Riemann. Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann (September 17, 1826 – July 20, 1866) was an [...]

The Millennium Problems

  Recently Prof. Malay Dutta (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Tezpur University) gave a talk on the Millennium Problems in mathematics. We present to you a series of 8 articles written by Prof. Dutta where he speaks about the problems in detail. This is the introductory post and will be followed very soon by [...]
