Abstract: The spacetime positive mass theorem says that an asymptotically flat initial data set with the dominant energy condition must have a timelike energy-momentum vector, unless the initial data set is in the Minkowski spacetime. We will review...

I will talk about a recent result showing that some well-studied polynomial-based error-correcting codes (Folded Reed-Solomon Codes and Multiplicity Codes) are "list-decodable upto capacity with constant list-size".

At its core, this is a statement...

Abstract : What are the possible limits of smooth curvatures with uniformly bounded $L^p$ norms ?We shall see that the attempts to give a satisfying answer to this natural question from the calculus of variation of gauge theory brings us to numerous...

Computing volumes of moduli spaces has significance in many fields. For instance, Witten's conjecture regarding intersection numbers on the Deligne–Mumford moduli space of stable Riemann surfaces has a fascinating connection to the Weil–Petersson...

Abstract: After recalling the gluing construction for Kaehler constant scalar curvature and extremal (`a la Calabi) metrics starting from a compact or ALE orbifolds with isolated singularities, I will show how to compute the Futaki invariant of the...

It is conjectured that contact manifolds admitting flexible fillings have unique exact fillings. In this talk, I will show that exact fillings (with vanishing first Chern class) of a flexibly fillable contact (2n-1)-manifold share the same product...

Abstract: Colding-Minicozzi introduced a natural entropy for hypersurfaces in euclidean space that is non-increasing under the mean curvature flow (MCF) and is a natural measure of the hypersurface's geometric complexity. In particular...

A promising class of generative models maps points from a simple distribution to a complex distribution through an invertible neural network. Likelihood-based training of these models requires restricting their architectures to allow cheap...
