We present a general framework for derandomizing random linear codes with respect to a broad class of properties, known as local properties, which encompass several standard notions such as minimum distance, list-decoding, list-recovery, and perfect...

Why is it so hard to prove P != NP, or even to prove super-linear circuit lower bounds? While we often blame a lack of combinatorial ingenuity, the bottleneck might be more fundamental: the logical strength of our mathematical tools.

This series of...

We define and study an extension of the notion of the VC-dimension of a hypergraph and apply it to establish a Tverberg type theorem for unions of convex sets. We also prove a new Radon type theorem for unions of convex sets, settling an open...

Note: This talk will involve quantum computing, cryptography, and representation theory, but no background in any of these will be necessary to understand it. I'll introduce everything from the basics.
