In 2021 Avi gave a talk titled “Linear spaces of matrices” (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1H0OkZfZXw). As shown there, the study of linear spaces of matrices (which we call matrix spaces) arises naturally (and independently) in many different...

Semiclassical measures are a standard object studied in quantum chaos, capturing macroscopic behavior of sequences of eigenfunctions in the high energy limit. They have a long history of study going back to the Quantum Ergodicity theorem and the...

The lateral periodic condition has been imposed canonically and investigated extensively in the study of a channel flow, which unfortunately is not compatible with either the celebrated Reynolds' experiment or the self-similar Blasius boundary layer...

Originally introduced as analogs of symmetric spaces for  groups over non-archimedian fields buildings have proven useful in various areas by now. In this talk I will introduce (Bruhat-Tits) buildings,  combinatorial toolkits to study them and their...

Two central results in modern complexity theory can be summed up as follows:

1. Everything provable is provable in zero knowledge (NP ⊆ CZK); and
2. Everything provable is locally checkable (NP = PCP[log n, 1]).

In a pair of recent works, we show how to...

A construction of Thurston assigns a hyperbolic 3-manifold to any polyhedron; a natural question is: which such are arithmetic? We report on ongoing work aiming to answer this question. 

CAT(0) cube complexes are cell complexes whose cells are cubes, whose naturally defined metric is non-positively curved in some precise sense. 

They can be equivalently defined in a variety of ways, which a priori looks very different. They naturally...

The ring of symmetric functions has a linear basis of Schur functions $s_{\lambda}$ indexed by partitions $\lambda = (\lambda_1 \geq \lambda_2 \geq \ldots \geq 0 )$. Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c^{\nu}_{\lambda, \mu}$ are the structure...
