Ce Bian and Andrew Booker exhibited the first example of a third degree transcendental L-function at the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM). These L-functions encode deep underlying connections between many different areas of mathematics. While the result was announced the news caused excitement at the workshop attended by 25 of the world's leading analytic number theorists. "This breakthrough opens a door to the study of higher degree L-functions," said Dennis Hejhal, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota and Uppsala University. "It's a big advance" added Harold Stark...
