A nxn matrix M over GF(2) is said to be (r,\delta)-rigid if every matrix M' within \delta n^2 Hamming distance from M has rank at least r. A long standing open problem is to construct explicit rigid matrices. In a recent remarkable result, Alman and...

The goal of the talk is to explain the statement and proof of a beautiful result due to Margulis (1967) later extended by Plante and Thurston (1972) that imposes restrictions on the growth of the fundamental group of 3-manifolds that support Anosov...

For a function K : R^d x R^d -> R, and a set P = {x_1, ..., x_n} in d-dimension, the K graph G_P of P is the complete graph on n nodes where the weight between nodes i and j is given by K(x_i, x_j). In this paper, we initiate the study of when...

Many of the central problems in computational complexity revolve around proving lower bounds on the amount of resources used in various computational models. In this series of talks, we will discuss three standard objects in computational complexity...

Flocking and swarming models which seek to explain pattern formation in mathematical biology often assume that organisms interact through a force which is attractive over large distances yet repulsive at short distances. Suppose this force is given...

The number of embedded pseudo-holomorphic curves in a symplectic manifold typically depends on the choice of an almost complex structure on the manifold and so does not lead to a symplectic invariant. However, I will discuss two instances in which...

The purpose of this talk is to introduce the classification problem of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in dimension 3 (including introducing the concept of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms and its relevance). The main goal will be to...
