The Ax-Grothendieck theorem from the 1960s says that an injective polynomial $f : \mathbb C^n \to \mathbb C^n$ is also surjective. It is one of the first examples of the powerful technique in algebraic geometry of using finite fields to prove...

Most people interact with machine learning systems on a daily basis. Such interactions often happen in strategic environments where people have incentives to manipulate the learning algorithms. As machine learning plays a more prominent role in our...

In various applications, one is given the advice or predictions of several classifiers of unknown reliability, over multiple questions or queries. This scenario is different from standard supervised learning where classifier accuracy can be assessed...

In a recent result, Buckmaster and Vicol proved non-uniqueness of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations which have bounded kinetic energy and integrable vorticity. We discuss the existence of such solutions, which in addition are regular...

Starting from a contact manifold and a supporting open book decomposition, an explicit construction by Bourgeois provides a contact structure in the product of the original manifold with the two-torus. In this talk, we will discuss recent results...

Schur polynomials are the characters of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the general linear group. We will discuss both continuous and discrete concavity property of Schur polynomials. There will be one theorem and eight conjectures...

A sunflower with $r$ petals is a collection of $r$ sets so that the intersection of each pair is equal to the intersection of all. Erdos and Rado in 1960 proved the sunflower lemma: for any fixed $r$, any family of sets of size $w$, with at least...
