Abstract:  Susan D’Agostino earned a PhD in mathematics at Dartmouth College, taught for years as a tenured mathematics professor, and subsequently left academe for science journalism. Her math and science stories have since been published in The...

Abstract A classical theorem of Neukirch and Uchida says that number fields are completely determined by their absolute Galois groups. One might wonder about analogous results for algebraic varieties: in what situations can varieties be...

Abstract: Being a scientist or mathematician can be challenging, and being a minority mathematician even more so. My path hasn’t always been easy, but it has been worthwhile and fulfilling. However, in some sense, I believe that I ended up where I...

Abstract: The twenty years between when I started college and my first visit to IAS saw great changes in opportunities for women in mathematics, as in most professions. Concurrent with this was the birth of a new field of global or geometric...

This NSF-funded workshop supported the participation of underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences.  Talks featured senior professionals about their experiences in academia, industry, and government, as well as current research by young...

We consider a Poisson point process on $R^d$ with intensity lambda for $d>=2$. On each point, we independently center a ball whose radius is distributed according to some power-law distribution mu. When the distribution mu has a finite d-moment...
