The Clay Mathematics Institute
Call for Nominations
The Clay Mathematics Institute calls for nominations for its competition for the 2019 Clay Research Fellowships. The primary selection criteria for the Fellowship are the exceptional quality of the candidate's research and the candidate's promise to become a mathematical leader. All Fellows are recent PhDs, and most are selected as they complete their thesis work. Nominations close November 16, 2018.
Millennium Problems
Supported by much experimental evidence, this conjecture relates the number of points on an elliptic curve mod p to the rank of the group of rational points. Elliptic curves, defined by cubic equations in two variables, are fundamental mathematical objects that arise in many areas: Wiles' proof of the Fermat Conjecture, factorization of numbers into primes, and cryptography, to name three.
