Proves large-data global existence and uniqueness for the three-dimensional, one-species relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell system. Smooth admissible initial data may be arbitrary provided the particle density is compactly supported and the electromagnetic fields have finite energy and bounded derivatives of every order; the solution remains smooth on every finite time interval.
Resolves the free group factor isomorphism problem: , and hence all interpolated free group factors, including , are isomorphic. Their common factor has fundamental group .
Proves Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture in ZFC: for each bound on the Löwenheim–Skolem number, a uniform threshold makes categoricity of an abstract elementary class in one cardinal above that threshold imply categoricity throughout the same tail. Categoricity means uniqueness up to isomorphism at a given cardinality. Under the continuum hypothesis, a proposed specific Hanf threshold need not suffice.
Constructs a finitely presented torsion-free group G whose group algebra has nonzero zero divisors, disproving Kaplansky's zero-divisor conjecture. The group has a finite two-dimensional classifying space.
Proves that every finite simple cubic bipartite planar 3-vertex-connected graph has a Hamiltonian cycle, resolving Barnette's conjecture. Equivalently, every three-edge path in a finite simple cubic 3-vertex-connected bipartite Pfaffian graph lies in a Hamiltonian cycle.
Resolves the uniform boundedness assertion in Hilbert's sixteenth problem: the number of isolated periodic orbits of a real planar polynomial vector field is bounded by a finite constant depending only on its degree. For classical quintic Liénard systems, the exact maximum is two limit cycles.
Proves over ℂ, giving arithmetic operations for square matrix multiplication. In characteristic zero, some inner dimension na with a > 0.465 permits rectangular multiplication. Further square bounds give ω < 2.258 outside finitely many positive characteristics and ω < 2.371054886006746 over every fixed field.
Proves , resolving derandomization for bounded-error logarithmic-space computation. An effective compiler converts each randomized polynomial-time logarithmic-space machine deciding a language with one-sided or two-sided error into a deterministic logarithmic-space decider with explicit polynomial running-time bounds.
Proves Khot's Unique Games Conjecture. Independent direct reductions also establish NP-hardness, on unweighted graphs, of approximation beyond the Goemans–Williamson ratio for Max-Cut, below factor two for Vertex Cover, and within any fixed constant factor for Min-UnCut and directed feedback vertex set. These direct proofs use established PCP and Label Cover hardness results.
Resolves the Kakeya maximal conjecture in three dimensions and the Hausdorff-dimension conjecture in four. In three dimensions, the radius-δ tube maximal operator maps to with norm for every ε > 0. In four dimensions, every set containing a unit segment in every direction has Hausdorff dimension four.
Proves the rational Hodge conjecture for every complex CM abelian variety, in every dimension and codimension. Through Milne's theorems, this also gives the Tate conjecture for all abelian varieties over finite fields and the Hodge standard conjecture for abelian varieties in every characteristic.
Proves the infinitude assertion in Artin's primitive root conjecture for every integer a that is neither −1 nor a square. For each such base, at least primes in every sufficiently large interval have primitive root a, with .
Proves Goldfeld's conjecture for quadratic twists of every elliptic curve over ℚ: analytic ranks zero and one each have density 1/2, and the mean analytic rank tends to 1/2. Both statements order signed squarefree twist parameters by absolute value.
Proves that Catalan's constant is irrational.
Proves that no algorithm decides whether an integer-coefficient polynomial in an arbitrary number of variables has a rational zero, resolving Hilbert's tenth problem over ℚ negatively.
Proves that every Dirichlet L-function, including , is zero-free in , resolving the quasi-Riemann hypothesis. The same half-plane is zero-free for every finite-order Hecke L-function over . A companion gives a different proof of the zero-free half-plane .
Proves the full Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer leading-term formula for every elliptic curve over ℚ whose full q-power Selmer group has corank zero or one for some prime q, including finiteness of the Tate–Shafarevich group. With result 006, this gives full BSD for a density-one set of quadratic twists of every elliptic curve over ℚ.

Proves uniform interior regularity for bounded infinity-harmonic functions in every dimension d ≥ 3, for a positive exponent depending only on dimension. The gradient's supremum norm and Hölder seminorm on the half unit ball are bounded by a dimension-dependent constant times the oscillation on the unit ball. The exponent is not explicit.
Constructs viscous incompressible flows starting from rest on a fixed flat three-dimensional domain that perform universal computation under smooth external forcing. A terminating compiler turns a Turing machine and input into a finite program for the force, so a designated particle reaches a fixed region exactly when the machine halts. The viscosity is fixed, positive and computable.
Proves De Giorgi's conjecture at its sharp dimension-eight endpoint: every entire C2 solution of that is strictly increasing in one direction depends on only one linear coordinate. A stronger theorem classifies all stable entire solutions as constant wells or planar transitions, without an energy-growth assumption.
For uniform source measure ρ on a compact convex body with interior in dimension at least two, quadratic optimal transport maps satisfy uniformly over targets in a fixed compact set. The exponent is sharp, even for three-atom targets, disproving Letrouit's conjectured square-root bound.
An optimal three-particle Coulomb configuration need not be a deterministic function of the first particle, even for smooth identical spatial densities. The Monge and Kantorovich infima agree, but the Monge infimum is not attained. The same phenomenon occurs for every inverse-power Riesz exponent in each dimension at least two, with a suitable density in each case.
Proves that full static boundary displacement-to-traction data determine both smooth real Lamé moduli on every bounded connected smooth domain in ℝ3, provided μ > 0 and on the closure. Neither analyticity, proximity to constant coefficients nor prior knowledge near the boundary is required.
For a sufficiently large odd nonlinearity power, constructs a nonempty open set of initial data in , with k > 8, whose solutions of the scalar defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation blow up in finite time. Thus finite-time blowup is stable under Sobolev perturbations in this supercritical regime.
Resolves the subcritical Lane–Emden conjecture and its weighted Hénon extension. For n ≥ 2, and real A, B, the system , has no positive entire solution when , with solutions continuous at the origin and classical elsewhere. No symmetry or growth assumption is needed. Known radial existence gives the exact existence criterion for n ≥ 3 and .
Proves a strict form of Burdzy's simply connected hot spots conjecture. On every smooth bounded simply connected planar domain, each nonzero eigenfunction for the first positive Neumann eigenvalue has no interior critical point, so all global extrema lie on the boundary. Eigenvalue multiplicity is allowed.
Resolves the three-dimensional Ball–Evans approximation problem: every homeomorphism between arbitrary bounded domains in ℝ3, for , is a strong limit of smooth diffeomorphisms onto the same target.
Establishes seven as the first dimension admitting a nonflat, one-homogeneous global minimizer of the one-phase Bernoulli energy. Consequently, minimizing free boundaries are smooth through dimension six, and their singular sets have dimension at most in higher dimensions.
Resolves the interior regularity conjecture for reduced absolute planar Mumford–Shah minimizers with bounded fidelity data. Locally, the closed discontinuity set is a arc, a regular crack tip, or three arcs meeting at ; only finitely many global connected components meet any compact interior region.
Zero-frequency measurements on any nonempty open boundary patch determine a smooth metric and smooth unitary connection on a trivial Hermitian rank-two bundle over a compact connected manifold of dimension at least three, up to diffeomorphism and gauge fixed on that patch. Inputs and observations use the same patch. In contrast, distinct uniformly positive bounded measurable scalar conductivities on a three-dimensional ball can have identical full-boundary data.
Derives the nonlinear Boltzmann equation from three-dimensional grand-canonical Newtonian gases throughout every regular kinetic interval with uniform Gaussian decay. Stable finite-range radial potentials may have attractive wells and a singular repulsive core; initial pair exclusion and spatially summable Gaussian density and gradient bounds are assumed. A companion gives finite-dimensional hard-sphere Gaussian fluctuations, centered at the exact microscopic expectation and governed by the linear fluctuating Boltzmann equation.
Constructs two distinct global entropy solutions of the three-dimensional periodic hard-sphere Boltzmann equation from the same nonnegative initial density, with bounded velocity support and finite mass, energy and absolute entropy. Both are strongly continuous in L1 and satisfy exact local conservation of mass, momentum and kinetic energy.
Disproves Yau's proposed Euclidean dimension bound for harmonic functions of integer growth on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. For every sufficiently large integer k, a complete smooth metric on ℝ3 has at least independent harmonic functions of growth at most k, exceeding the Euclidean count . The metric may depend on k.
On every closed connected Riemannian manifold of dimension at least two satisfying weak Ma–Trudinger–Wang curvature, all tangent injectivity domains are convex, resolving Villani’s conjecture in this setting. For squared-distance transport between measurable probability densities bounded above and away from zero, the optimal map and its inverse are Hölder continuous.
Constructs a contractible domain in ℂ3 with a complete negatively pinched Kähler metric but no bounded holomorphic coordinates, disproving bounded-domain uniformization in this setting. A higher-dimensional example has sectional curvature at most −1 and only constant bounded holomorphic functions; its curvature is not bounded below.
