For 30 years, mathematicians have chased a “tasty” problem that promised to unite all of math. Now, they’ve done it; this is the story of the monumental 800-page proof for the geometric Langlands conjecture. This breakthrough uses the logic of music to build a “Grand Unified Theory” and reveal the hidden connections within the mathematical universe.
The 800-Page Proof That Took 30 Years to Write
Inspired by how a symphony breaks down into pure notes, a landmark 30-year proof finally reveals a hidden structure that connects mathematics’s vast and disparate worlds.
