Can Mathematics SolveMysteries in Literature?
Abstract: There have been no shortages of controversies inliterature, from old questions such as whether Cao Xueqin wrote all 120chapters of "Dreams of Red Chamber", widely known as the greatestwork of Chinese literature, to new questions such as whether Obama actuallywrote his autobiography "Dreams From My Father". For mathematicians,it is interesting to ask whether mathematics can be used to settle thesecontroversies. In this talk, I will give an overview on how mathematics can beapplied to analyze the "style" of an author and the related field ofstudy called "stylometry". I will show that mathematics can be usedto almost definitively settle many such controversies.
