At the November workshop, I described a new algorithm to cover compact, congruence locally symmetric spaces by balls. I’ll discuss how to compute the nerve of such a covering and Hecke actions on its cohomology. Joint work with Aurel Page.At the...

For given a Lagrangian in a symplectic manifold, one can consider deformation of A-infinity algebra structures on its Floer complex by degree 1 elements satisfying the Maurer-Cartan equation. The space of such degree 1 elements can be thought of as...

The Langlands-Rapoport conjecture gives a description of the mod $p$ points of suitable integral models of Shimura varieties. Such results are of use, for example, in computing the local factor of the (semi-simple) Hasse-Weil zeta function of the...

We revisit the question of reducing online learning to approximate optimization of the offline problem. In this setting, we give two algorithms with near-optimal performance in the full information setting: they guarantee optimal regret and require...

The Faltings height is a useful invariant for addressing questions in arithmetic geometry. In his celebrated proof of the Mordell and Shafarevich conjectures, Faltings shows the Faltings height satisfies a certain Northcott property, which allows...

We consider the following question: how many points with bounded norm can a "non-degenerate" lattice have. Here, by a "non-degenerate" lattice, we mean an n-dimensional lattice with no surprisingly dense lower-dimensional sublattices.

Dadush and...

In a joint work with B. Chantraine, P. Ghiggini, and R. Golovko we decompose any object in the wrapped Fukaya category as a twisted complex built from the cocores of the critical (i.e. half-dimensional) handles in a Weinstein handle decomposition...

Polynomial optimization over hypercubes has important applications in combinatorial optimization. We develop a symmetry-reduction method that finds sums of squares certificates for non-negative symmetric polynomials over k-subset hypercubes that...
