Poincare Conjecture

”

Around 1,000 articles are published on arXiv every day — from the proof of the Poincaré Conjecture to research from AI companies like DeepSeek and Gemini. In this podcast we go behind the scenes to learn what it takes to run such a huge mathematical institution.

Want to expand your horizon? Then discover one of the hardest problems in algebraic topology which has only recently been solved: the Kervaire invariant problem.

We explore a famous problem which shaped 20th century topology. 

 For years, scientists and science fiction writers have contemplated the possibilities of higher dimensional spaces. What would a 4- or 5-dimensional universe look like?
