The p-curvature conjecture is an analogue of the Hasse principle for arithmetic differential equations. I will discuss this conjecture in the context of families of algebraic varieties, and among other things, demonstrate a proof of the p-curvature...

Deligne's "Weil II" paper includes a far-reaching conjecture to the effect that for a smooth variety on a finite field of characteristic p, for any prime l distinct from p, l-adic representations of the etale fundamental group do not occur in...

Worst-case analysis of algorithms has been the central method of theoretical computer science for the last 60 years, leading to great discoveries in algorithm design and a beautiful theory of computational hardness. However, worst-case analysis can...

The Sato-Tate group of an abelian variety A of dimension g defined over a number field is a compact real Lie subgroup of the unitary simplectic group of degree 2g that conjecturally governs the limiting distribution of the normalized Frobenius...

State the main theorems of Fukaya-Kato and outline the proofs.

At leading order, the fluctuations around the typical dynamics are described by the second cumulant. They actually satisfy a stochastic PDE with time-space white noise. Can we say more using higher order cumulants?

When designing the first computer built at IAS, von Neumann rejected floating-point arithmetic as neither necessary nor convenient. In 1997 William Kahan at Berkeley, who designed the famously accurate algorithms on Hewlett-Packard calculators, said...
