The relationship between "in which" and "where"
As I know, "in/at which" can be replaced with "where" if the antecedent is referring to "place".
However, in this sentence
He published his second mathematics paper, in which he gave the
modern definition ~.
I think the antecedent is not "place", so I wonder if the relative adverb "where" can replace "in which".

Yes, 'where' is not wrong there.

If so, is there any restriction or exception in which "where" cannot replace "in/at which"?
I remember that someone told me it is not always acceptable to use "where" instead of "in/at which".
