CMI invites proposals under the Enhancement and Partnership Program for fiscal year 2026 (1 October 2025-30 September 2026) and later. The principal aim of the program is to enhance activities that are already planned and financially viable.
The 2025 CMI HIMR Summer School on Formalizing Class Field Theory will take place in Oxford 21-25 July 2025.
The Clay Mathematics Institute is a global organisation dedicated to furthering the beauty, power and universality of mathematical thought.
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.
In 1904 the French mathematician Henri Poincaré asked if the three dimensional sphere is characterized as the unique simply connected three manifold. This question, the Poincaré conjecture, was a special case of Thurston’s geometrization conjecture. Perelman’s proof tells us that every three manifold is built from a set of standard pieces, each with one of eight well-understood geometries.
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.
