Complex geometry investigates the properties and structures inherent in complex manifolds, while hyperbolicity imposes stringent restrictions on the behaviour of holomorphic maps. Together, these ...
Recent decades have witnessed a bloom in research at the interface of complex geometry and nonlinear partial differential equations. This interdisciplinary field explores the deep and intricate ...
Real and imaginary: The time-dependent Schrödinger equation formulated using complex numbers. (Courtesy: iStock/piranka) Complex numbers are essential to achieve the most accurate quantum-mechanical ...
The grandest project in mathematics has received a rare gift, in the form of a mammoth 350-page paper posted in February that will change the way researchers around the world investigate some of the ...
A forgotten number system invented in the 19th century may provide the simplest explanation for why our universe could have 10 dimensions As children, we all learn about numbers. We start with ...
Complex numbers seem to have an almost mystical aura surrounding them. Perhaps it’s because of the terminology used for them – for example, they have a ‘real part’ and an ‘imaginary part’, and they ...
