The Mumford-Shah functional has been introduced by Mumford and Shah in 1989 as a variational model for image reconstruction. Since then, it has been widely studied both from a theoretical and an applied point of view. In this talk we will focus on...

This is the second talk in a series of three talks on the derived Satake. I will give an overview of an article by Ginzburg which laid the foundational ideas for this equivalence.

In this talk I hope to explain how the representation theory of $GL_n(F_q)$ (with q being a power of p) in char. p, and also in mixed characteristic $(0,p)$, plays an important role in the theory of Galois representations and the Langlands program...

We will talk about a recent result of Jeff Kahn, Bhargav Narayanan, and myself stating that the threshold for the random graph G(n,p) to contain the square of a Hamilton cycle is 1/sqrt n, resolving a conjecture of Kühn and Osthus from 2012. For...

Lévy matrices are symmetric random matrices whose entries are independent alpha-stable laws. Such distributions have infinite variance, and when alpha is less than 1, infinite mean. In the latter case these matrices are conjectured to exhibit a...

Matroids are combinatorial objects that model various types of independence. They appear several fields mathematics, including graph theory, combinatorial optimization, and algebraic geometry. In this talk, I will introduce the theory of matroids...

We prove that parallel repetition of the (3-player) GHZ game reduces the value of the game polynomially fast to 0. That is, the value of the GHZ game repeated in parallel t times is at most $t^{-\Omega(1)}. Previously, only a bound of roughly 1 /...

I will start by explaining Takahashi's homological mirror symmetry (HMS) conjecture regarding invertible polynomials, which is an open string reinterpretation of Berglund-Hubsch-Henningson mirror symmetry. In joint work with A. Polishchuk, we...
