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...

Ecological damage emerges in patches and creates feral, nonhuman reaction chains. Can global climate policy address this? Anthropologist Anna Tsing (UCSC) will discuss this question at the IAS Public Policy Lecture on March 28. Register here.

In this lecture I will present basic elements of the theory of nonlocal games from quantum information theory and give some examples. I will then introduce the idea of "compressing" the complexity of nonlocal games, and show how the right form of...

The Institute for Advanced Study requires that all adult visitors, collaborators, conference and on-campus seminar attendees and outside vendors coming to the Institute are required to have completed a COVID-19 vaccination and booster in order to...
