  <body><![CDATA[<p>Last month, mathematicians&nbsp;<a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/people/staff/karen_vogtmann/" target="_blank">Karen Vogtmann</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://michaelborinsky.com/" target="_blank">Michael Borinsky</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.01121" target="_blank">posted a proof</a>&nbsp;that there is a truckload of mathematical structure within a hitherto inaccessible mathematical world called the moduli space of graphs, which Vogtmann and a collaborator&nbsp;<a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01388734" target="_blank">first described</a>&nbsp;in the mid-1980s.&nbsp;&ldquo;That&rsquo;s a super hard problem. It&rsquo;s amazing they were able to,&rdquo; said <a href="https://dmargalit7.math.gatech.edu/index.shtml">Dan Margalit</a>, professor in the <a href="https://math.gatech.edu">School of Mathematics&nbsp;</a>at the Georgia Institute of Technology. (Margalit did not work on the moduli space proof.)&nbsp;</p>
