| | | | What will be our next polymath project? A polymath project (Wikipedia) is a collaboration among mathematicians to solve important and difficult mathematical problems by coordinating many mathematicians to communicate with each other on finding the best route to the solution. The project began in January 2009 on Timothy Gowers's blog when he posted a problem... | |

| | | | Topology Quasi-polynomial algorithms for telling if a knot is trivial Marc Lackenby announced a quasi-polynomial time algorithm to decide whether a given knot is the unknot! This is a big breakthrough. This question is known to be both in NP and in coNP. See this post, and updates there in the comment section. Topology seminar,... | |

They reminded me of the A-team of the 1980s television series: "If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team." A conjecture of Marton, widely known as "the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture" was certainly a holy grail | |
