Institutions
Where the Riemann hypothesis research concentrates, three ways
Reading the columns
- # the headline rank: the average of the Training and Environment scores shown in the next two columns. Average the two numbers on any row and the rows sort by exactly that average, so the # position is always explainable from what you see.
- Training score from 0.00 to 1.00: where today's Top 100 earned their PhDs (verified Mathematics Genealogy records; 41 of 100 researchers covered), rank-weighted and scaled so the strongest training ground is 1.00. A dash means no recorded Top 100 alumni and counts as 0 in the average.
- Environment score from 0.00 to 1.00: the research gravity around the institution today; every Top 100 researcher contributes by rank and by distance (exponential decay, 100 km scale), scaled so the strongest environment is 1.00. A dash means no verified coordinates yet and counts as 0.
- Top 100 how many of the current Top 100 work there. Hover a row for names.
Click any header to sort; the score columns sort strongest-first. Candidates are the union of the Top 100's current institutions and their PhD schools, so pure training grounds appear even when nobody on the list works there today.
