"Mathematicians from the California Institute of Technology have solved
an old problem related to a mathematical process called a random walk.
The team, which also worked with a colleague from Israel’s Ben-Gurion
University, solved the problem in a rush after having a realization one
evening. Lead author Omer Tamuz studies both economics and mathematics,
using probability theory and ergodic theory as the link—a progressive
and blended approach that this year’s Abel Prize-winning mathematicians
helped to trailblaze.
Tamuz said in a Caltech statement that he’d explained a potential
breakthrough to his students one day, then found out the next day they’d
gone ahead and solved it."
