When we choose a metric on a manifold we determine the spectrum of the Laplace operator. Thus an eigenvalue may be considered as a functional on the space of metrics. For example the first eigenvalue would be the fundamental vibrational frequency...

The EKR theorem, which is the cornerstone of extremal combinatorics, characterizes maximal intersecting families of sets. Its setting fixes a ground set of size n, and then studies the size and structure of intersecting families of subsets of fixed...

In his influential paper "Modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal", Mazur studied congruences modulo p between cusp forms and the Eisenstein series of weight 2 and prime level N. In particular, he defined the Eisenstein ideal in the relevant Hecke...
