Combinatorial designs and finite group theory form a rich intersection of discrete mathematics and algebra, where structured arrangements of elements are studied alongside the algebraic properties of ...

Commuting graphs have emerged as a powerful framework for elucidating complex relationships within finite group theory. In these graphs, vertices typically represent non-central elements of a group, ...

A research team of mathematicians and computer scientists has used machine learning to reveal new mathematical structure within the theory of finite groups. By training neural networks to recognise ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 2003, a German graduate student named Britta Späth encountered the McKay conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in the ...

In 2003, a German graduate student named Britta Späth encountered the McKay conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in the mathematical realm known as group theory. At first her goals were ...
