MATH+ and École Polytechnique (l’X, Paris) are reinforcing their ties and expanding their scientific collaboration. The partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 24 March 2026, during a visit by a delegation from the Chair of MATH+ to l’X.
Researchers have overturned a 150-year-old rule in classical geometry, originally proposed by Pierre Ossian Bonnet, which claimed a surface is uniquely determined by its metric and mean curvature. They constructed two distinct donut-shaped surfaces sharing both properties, creating the first compact ‘Bonnet pair’ and disproving
