To many in the United States, advanced forms of mathematics are a terrifying maze of numbers, symbols, graphs, and hypotheticals that render our world more complex than simple observations would ...

Professor Adam Sikora is helping advance and popularize the growing field of quantum topology, which connects topology and geometry with quantum physics through surprising cross-fertilization of ideas ...

With a newly discovered mathematical tool, researchers are hoping to gain unprecedented insight into the structure of complex ...

The geometry and topology group at UB is traditionally strong in research and mentoring. Our faculty work in the areas of algebraic topology, complex geometry, differential geometry, geometric group ...

Endperiodic maps, splitting sequences, and branched surfaces. Michael Landry and Chi Cheuk Tsang. To appear in Geometry and Topology. 144 pages. A polynomial invariant for veering triangulations.

In the early 1960s George Gamow wrote a popular book 1 that contained a very suggestive observation about the effectiveness of pure mathematics in physics. As a conclusion he remarked that “only ...
