In 1979, Kaufman constructed a remarkable surjective Lipschitz map from a cube to a square whose derivative has rank $1$ almost everywhere. In this talk, we will present some higher-dimensional generalizations of Kaufman's construction that lead to...

This is the third talk in a series of three talks on the derived Satake equivalence. I will give an overview of the article of Bezrukavnikov and Finkelberg which explains how the equivariant derived category of the affine Grassmannian can be...

We show that if $G=\langle S | E\rangle$ is a discrete group with Property (T) then $E$, as a system of equations over $S$, is not stable (under a mild condition). That is, $E$ has approximate solutions in symmetric groups $Sym(n)$, $n \geq 1$, that...

Sometimes, it is possible to represent a complicated polytope as a projection of a much simpler polytope. To quantify this phenomenon, the extension complexity of a polytope P is defined to be the minimum number of facets in a (possibly higher...

We will briefly review Kolmogorov’s (41) theory of homogeneous turbulence and Onsager’s (49) conjecture that in 3-dimensional turbulent flows energy dissipation might exist even in the limit of vanishing viscosity. Although over the past 60 years...

You can make a paper Moebius band by starting with a $1$ by $L$ rectangle, giving it a twist, and then gluing the ends together. The question is: How short can you make $L$ and still succeed in making the thing? This question goes back to B. Halpern...

We introduce two new notions for polynomials associated with discrete set-valued probability distributions. These notions generalize well-studied properties like real-stability and log-concavity, but unlike them robustly degrade under a number of...
