2026 Clay Research Conference and Workshops
The 2026 Clay Research Conference will be held on Wednesday 23 September, with associated workshops held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday during the week of the conference.
The Clay Mathematics Institute is a global organisation dedicated to furthering the beauty, power and universality of mathematical thought.
Yang-Mills & the Mass Gap
Experiment and computer simulations suggest the existence of a “mass gap” in the solution to the quantum versions of the Yang-Mills equations. But no proof of this property is known.
Navier-Stokes Equation
This is the equation which governs the flow of fluids such as water and air. However, there is no proof for the most basic questions one can ask: do solutions exist, and are they unique? Why ask for a proof? Because a proof gives not only certitude, but also understanding.
Hodge Conjecture
The answer to this conjecture determines how much of the topology of the solution set of a system of algebraic equations can be defined in terms of further algebraic equations. The Hodge conjecture is known in certain special cases, e.g., when the solution set has dimension less than four. But in dimension four it is unknown.
