A predicate $P:\Sigma^k \to {0,1}$ is said to be linearly embeddable if the set of assignments satisfying it can be embedded in an Abelian group. 

In this talk, we will present this notion and mention problems it relates to from various areas...

Given $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\xi\in\mathbb{R}$, let $\tau(n;\xi)=\sum_{d|n}d^{i\xi}$. Hall and Tenenbaum asked in their book \textit{Divisors} what is the value of $\max_{\xi\in[1,2]} |\tau(n;\xi)|$ for a ``typical'' integer $n$. I will present work...

The solar corona is the hot and ionized outer atmosphere of the Sun. It traces out the complex solar magnetic field and expands into interplanetary space as the supersonic solar wind. In 1958, Eugene Parker theorized that the presence of a million...

Erdős-style geometry is concerned with combinatorial questions about simple geometric objects, such as counting incidences between finite sets of points, lines, etc. These questions can be typically viewed as asking for the possible number of...

Abstract: Organic scintillators are a promising avenue for the direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter (DM). With eV-scale excitation energies that rival the sensitivity of semiconductor targets, they can be produced in bulk and purified relatively...
