That pi is in fact transcendental was first proved in 1882 by Ferdinand von Lindemann, who showed that if $latex \alpha$ is a nonzero complex number and $latex e^\alpha$ is algebraic, then $latex \alpha$ must be transcendental. Since...

The logarithmic potential is a classical object of potential theory intimately connected with the two dimensional Laplacian. It appears also in free probability theory via the free entropy, and in partial differential equations e.g. Patlak-Keller-Segel models. This post concerns only it usage for the spectra of non Hermitian random matrices. Let \( {\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{C})} \) be the set of probability measures...

The famous mathematician Kurt Gödel proved two "incompleteness" theorems. This is their story. By the 1930s logicians, especially Tarski, had figured out the semantics of predicate logic. Tarski described what exactly was an 'interpretation' and what it meant for a formula to be true in an interpretation. Briefly, an interpretation is a nonempty set (the...
