The main focus is on Morawetz’s fundamental work on the nonexistence of continuous transonic flows past profiles, Morawetz’s program regarding the construction of global steady weak transonic flow solutions past profiles via compensated compactness, and a potential theory for regular and Mach reflection of a shock at a wedge. The profound impact of Morawetz’s work on recent developments and breakthroughs in these research directions and related areas in pure and applied mathematics are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":9513,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135728944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He is perhaps best known for his work on small and large gaps between primes (which were discussed, hot off the press, in our 2015 <italic>Bulletin of the AMS</italic> article). In this article we will discuss two other Maynard breakthroughs: — Mersenne numbers take the form <inline-formula content-type=\"math/mathml\"> <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" alttext=\"2 Superscript n Baseline minus 1\"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>−<!-- − --></mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding=\"application/x-tex\">2^n-1</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and so appear as <inline-formula content-type=\"math/mathml\"> <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" alttext=\"111 ellipsis 111\"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>111</mml:mn> <mml:mo>…<!-- … --></mml:mo> <mml:mn>111</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding=\"application/x-tex\">111dots 111</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> in base 2, having no digit “<inline-formula content-type=\"math/mathml\"> <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" alttext=\"0\"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> <mml:annotation encoding=\"application/x-tex\">0</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>”. It is a famous conjecture that there are infinitely many such primes. More generally it was, until Maynard’s work, an open question as to whether there are infinitely many primes that miss any given digit, in any given base. We will discuss Maynard’s beautiful ideas that went into his 2019 partial resolution of this question. — In 1926, Khinchin gave remarkable conditions for when real numbers can usually be “well approximated” by infinitely many rationals. However Khinchin’s theorem regarded 1/2, 2/4, 3/6 as distinct rationals and so could not be easily modified to cope, say, with approximations by fractions with prime denominators. In 1941 Duffin and Schaeffer proposed an appropriate but significantly more general analogy involving approximation only by reduced fractions (which is much more useful). We will discuss its 2020 resolution by Maynard and Dimitris Koukoulopoulos.","PeriodicalId":9513,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136115971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
