Hyperbolic space is a Pringle-like alternative to flat, Euclidean geometry where the normal rules don’t apply: angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees and Euclid’s parallel postulate, ...

Even the most brilliant innovators get their inspiration from somewhere. For the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, such a creative impetus came from a particular illustration in a 1957 mathematical ...

One hypothesis about the shape of the universe is that the universe is in the space of Euclidean geometry and flat. In Euclidean geometry, it is assumed that straight lines extend everywhere, planes ...

We consider a Brownian bridge on the hyperbolic plane with one extremity tending to infinity, in finite time. We show that the exact exponential rate according to which this process concentrates ...

On a Thursday night in Ithaca, New York, Daina Taimina, an ebullient blond mathematician at Cornell University, sits at her kitchen table with her husband, David Henderson, a Cornell professor of ...
