These two talks will introduce the asymptotic rank and asymptotic subrank of tensors and graphs - notions that are key to understanding basic questions in several fields including algebraic complexity theory, information theory and combinatorics.

In his study of the Baum-Connes conjecture, Vincent Lafforgue was lead to study Banach space representations of SL(n>2,F) (for F a local field) which are not by isometries but by operators of slowly growing norm. Classical tools to study unitary...

A symplectic Lie groupoid is a Lie groupoid with a multiplicative symplectic form. We take the perspective that such an object is symplectic manifold with an extra categorical structure. Applying the machinery of Floer theory, the extra structure is...

In a series of works with Laszlo Szekelyhidi Jr. we pointed out an unusual analogy between two problems in rather distant areas: a long standing conjecture of Onsager in the theory of turbulence and a (less known) critical regularity problem in...

Deep learning builds upon the mysterious ability of gradient-based methods to solve related non-convex optimization problems. However, a complete theoretical understanding is missing even in the simpler setting of training a deep linear neural...

We will describe a recently discovered connection between private information retrieval and secret sharing, and a new secret-sharing scheme for general access structures that breaks a long-conjectured exponential barrier.

Based on joint work with...
