New types of symmetries have been considered in algebra and algebraic geometry and a higher analog of representation theory has been developed to answer questions of classical representation theory. Geometric representation theory can be viewed as...

For a fixed integer k > 1, the Boolean k-XOR problem consists of a system of linear equations mod 2 with each equation involving exactly k variables. We give an algorithm to strongly refute *semi-random* instances of the Boolean k-XOR problem on n...

In this talk, I will give an overview of some recent results motivated by the computation and applications of persistent homology, a theory that creates a bridge between the continuous world of topology and the discrete world of data, and assigns...

The physicist Abrikosov predicted that in certain superconductors, one should observe triangular lattices of vortices, now called Abrikosov lattices.  When studying ground states of Coulomb gases, which is motivated by questions in approximation...

Covers chapter 8 in Jantzen's book.

We touch lightly on the background of four mathematicians over four centuries whose names are famous in mathematics with my personal emphasis on fluid dynamics.
