Margaret Wertheim gave a talk for the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute at their 2016 annual Summer School. We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the ...

Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is ...

Complex hyperbolic geometry studies spaces that combine the rich structure of complex manifolds with the intriguing features of hyperbolic curvature. At its heart lies the complex hyperbolic space, a ...

Hyperbolic space is a Pringle-like alternative to flat, Euclidean geometry where the normal rules don’t apply: angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees and Euclid’s parallel postulate, ...
