March 1, 2022: talk by Dimitri Kanevsky (Google) on “A Non-Associative Moufang Loop of Point Classes on a Cubic Surface”

Dimitri Kanevsky came up with the first example of a non-associative Moufang loop of classes of points on cubic hypersurfaces. This answers a 50-year-old question by Yuri Manin. This talk was the first talk in mathematics which used a speech recognition technology. The program for speech recognition was co-invented also by Dimitri Kanevsky.

The Mathematic Mind of Emily Riehl

The Mathematic Mind of Emily Riehl

Associate Professor Emily Riehl was profiled in the winter edition of Johns Hopkins Magazine for her work “probing esoteric forms of mathematics that rethink the most basic of terms, like ‘equals’ and ‘same.’ As a result of work by her and others, ‘the same’ will never be the same again.” Read the full article to learn more about her work, process, and accomplishments.

December 4–5: Johns Hopkins Junior Number Theory Days 2021

The Johns Hopkins Junior Number Theory Days are a two-day workshop in Number Theory, where the speakers are either PhD students who are graduating, or post-docs who recently graduated. It aims to bring together strong, promising young researchers in Number Theory and neighboring fields, and to give them an opportunity to showcase their work.

Emily Riehl selected as Fellow of the AMS

Emily Riehl selected as Fellow of the AMS

Congratulations to Professor Emily Riehl on her selection as a member of the 2022 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society. She was selected for her contributions to research, exposition, and communication in higher category theory.

New Theory Offers a Bird’s-Eye View of Mathematics

Associate Professor Emily Riehl writes in Scientific American about how mathematicians have expanded category theory, which shows new connections among mathematical concepts.
