[Read More]Kyu-Hwan Lee and collaborators solve outstanding problem in Galois theory
Professor Kyu-Hwan Lee, together with Xiaoyu Huang, Blake Jackson, Bjorn Poonen, Rachel Pries, and Shaowu Zhang, has resolved a long-standing case of the inverse Galois problem by proving that the Mathieu group M23M_{23} occurs as a Galois group over the rational numbers. Their paper,“The Mathieu Group M23M_{23} Is a Galois Group over Q\mathbb{Q}“, establishes the […]
