Your inverted logic does not hold. The fact that such useless problems for bounds exist does not mean that improving bounds is useless. 9 fields medals in the last twenty years, including the one to Terrence Tao, were for improvements on bounds. 3 of the 4 medals in 2022 were for bounds; 2 of these medals were in combinatorics.
- sdenton4 2mo agoI stated that boring bounds improvement problems exist, not that all bounds problems are boring... Sigh.
- pama 2mo agoI agree boring problems exist; bounds may have a fare share of them. None of the bounds problems in this set are even close to this category; many of them are closer to the type of contributions that in the past got recognized by special awards. Your initial replies were misleading.
