It really depends on which field you are talking about. I’d say it is very hard to find an area of math that’s completely new , but you will often find existing areas where novel perspectives are driving math forward. Geometric algebra may be a hot topic in some areas, but the ideas of exterior algebra go back more than a century at this point, so is it really new??

Just to humor you though, I think Deep Operator learning is a vastly exciting new field which combines ideas from functional analysis and deep learning in order to do things like solving PDEs.
