Summary

A 17-year-old teen, Hannah Cairo, refutes the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture in mathematics after months of effort, using a new approach and constructing a counterexample. She will start her doctoral studies at the University of Maryland.

After months of trying to prove the result, I managed to understand why it was so difficult.

I realized that if I used that information correctly, I might be able to refute the claim.

It took me a

Cairo says it required several tools, including fractals, and she had to arrange everything very carefully.
