Algebraic structures form the backbone of modern abstract algebra, encapsulating a wide range of systems such as groups, rings, fields, and modules, each characterised by distinct axiomatic properties ...

The legendary graph isomorphism problem may be harder than a 2015 result seemed to suggest. “In Laci Babai, you have one of the most legendary and fearsome theoretical computer scientists there ever ...

Theoretical computer scientists are normally a fairly sedate bunch, but are humming with excitement after a potential breakthrough in a long-standing problem called graph isomorphism. The result could ...

A lot happened in mathematics this year. High school exam problems went viral. Terry Tao solved the Erdös Discrepancy Problem and while most mathematicians would have submitted the paper to a top math ...

The fraternity of problems that confound computers has lost a prominent member. Computer scientist László Babai presented a new algorithm this year that efficiently tackles the graph isomorphism ...
