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...

Classically, heights are defined over number fields or transcendence degree one function fields. This is so that the Northcott property, which says that sets of points with bounded height are finite, holds. Here, expanding on work of Moriwaki and...

I will discuss a little about the context and solution of the rectangular peg problem: for every smooth Jordan curve and rectangle in the Euclidean plane, one can place four points on the curve at the vertices of a rectangle similar to the one given...

This is the first talk in a series of three talks towards understanding Bezrukavnikov-Finkelberg's derived geometric Satake equivalence. In this talk, we recall the geometry of equal characteristic affine Grassmannians and some of the ingredients of...

The talk will be an introduction and a road map to the various connections the topic has with other areas of math and CS.
