In this talk, I will discuss lower bounds for a certain set-multilinear restriction of algebraic branching programs. The significance of the lower bound and the model is underscored by the recent work of Bhargav, Dwivedi, and Saxena (2023), which...

A cornerstone result in geometry is the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem, which gives a sharp bound on the maximum number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ lines in the real plane. A natural generalization of this is to consider point-hyperplane...

The central problem of physics and quantum chemistry is to find the ground state energy of some physical system governed by quantum mechanics.  In mathematical terms, this means finding the lowest eigenvalue of some linear operator on a vector space...
