I will discuss methods for deriving bounds on the roots of polynomials, and how one can use such bounds to assert the existence of combinatorial structures with certain spectral properties. This will include introducing the "method of interlacing...

We present a polynomial-time algorithm that, given samples from the unknown valuation distribution of each bidder, learns an auction that approximately maximizes the auctioneer's revenue in a variety of single-parameter auction environments...

I will discuss a construction of the homological mirror correspondence on algebraic integrable systems arising as moduli of flat bundles on curves. The focus will be on non-abelian Hodge theory as a tool for implementing hyper Kaehler rotations of...

If two motives are congruent, is it the case that the special values of their respective $L$-functions are congruent? More precisely, can the formula predicting special values of motivic $L$-functions be interpolated in $p$-adic families of motives...

Givental's quantization formula describes higher genus invariants from genus zero data, the Frobenius manifold. I will describe this quantization and state Teleman's result that this quantization actually describes all semisimple cohomological field...

In his 2005 paper "The Gromov-Witten potential associated to a TCFT" Kevin Costello described a procedure for recovering an analogue of the Gromov-Witten potential directly out of a cyclic A-inifinity algebra or category. Applying his construction...

In this talk, following right after Chiu's, I will summarize two other tools capable of detecting the non-squeezing property of pre-quantized balls in $\mathbb R^{2n} \times S^1$. One of these is a $\mathbb Z_k$-equivariant version of contact...
