Da reportagem: "Sahasrabudhe and his colleagues first started working
on the problem in 2018, at the National Institute for Pure and Applied
Mathematics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. "
[Curiosamente, 3 dos 4 autores do artigo
(
https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.09521) têm afiliação brasileira (IMPA e
PUC-Rio), mas a reportagem só fala em "Julian Sahasrabudhe at the
University of Cambridge and his colleagues".]
