This talk will be an introduction to the methods used in the study of spectral properties of Schroedinger operators with a potential defined via the action of an ergodic transformation. Open problems relating to Lyapunov exponents over a skew shift...

The Random Fourier Features (RFF) method (Rahimi, Recht, NIPS 2007) is one of the most practically successful techniques for accelerating computationally expensive nonlinear kernel learning methods. By quickly computing a low-rank approximation for...

The Galois group of Q acts on the homology of the complex moduli space of abelian varieties, or, equivalently, on the homology of symplectic groups Sp_{2g}(Z). (Here we take homology with finite or profinite coefficients.) In particular, the Galois...

The Univalent Foundations of Voevodsky offer not only a formal language for use in computer verification of proofs, but also a foundation of mathematics alternative to set theory, in which propositions and their proofs are mathematical objects, and...

Zero sets of Laplace eigenfunctions are called nodal sets. The talk will focus on propagation of smallness techniques, which are useful for estimates of the Hausdorff measure of the nodal sets.

We develop efficient algorithms for estimating low-degree moments of unknown distributions in the presence of adversarial outliers. The guarantees of our algorithms improve in many cases significantly over the best previous ones, obtained in recent...
