Chromatic symmetric functions and combinatorial polynomials are central constructs in modern algebraic combinatorics, extending classical graph invariants into rich algebraic frameworks. Originating ...

In 2015, the poet-turned-mathematician June Huh helped solve a problem posed about 50 years earlier. The problem was about complex mathematical objects called “matroids” and combinations of points and ...

He wanted to be a poet, then a science journalist. Only in his last year in college did Dr. Huh discover math as a calling. By Kenneth Chang Most top mathematicians discovered the subject when they ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

On a warm morning in early spring, June Huh walked across the campus of Princeton University. His destination was McDonnell Hall, where he was scheduled to teach, and he wasn’t quite sure how to get ...

In a recent article, mathematicians explain the use of tools from the branch of mathematics called graph theory to systematically analyze Sudoku puzzles. They also find that analyzing Sudokus leads to ...

Conjecture 1 (Tutte [2]): If G is a 2-edge-connected graph, then G admits a nowhere-zero 5-flow. If true, Conjecture 1 would imply that for every integer k > 4, the flow polynomial of any ...

Chromatic derivatives and series expansions of bandlimited functions have recently been introduced as an alternative representation to the Taylor series, and they have been shown to be more useful in ...
