Unification of Different Fields of Mathematics

(Image: https://www.iconfinder.com/roywj)


During WWII, AndrĂ© Weil proposed an idea for linking three fields of mathematics: number theory, geometry, and finite fields.

For the full story, please see the following link it Quanta Magazine's  article describing the unification of three major branches of mathematics: A Rosetta Stone of Mathematics. 

Also related, is the work begun by Robert Langlands, known as the Langlands program.

COMMENTS
Compositorial base is a mixed-radix representation using the composite numbers (A002808) from least to most significant.
Places reading from right have values (1, 4, 24, 192, ...) = compositorial numbers (A036691).
a(n) = concatenation of decimal digits of n in compositorial base. This concatenated representation is unsatisfactory for large n (above 172799), when coefficients of 10 or greater start to appear.
