We present a full $h$-principle (relative, parametric, $C^0$-close) for the simplification of singularities of Lagrangian and Legendrian fronts. More precisely, we prove that if there is no homotopy theoretic obstruction to simplifying the...

Geometers since Morse are interested in Morse Theory on the free loop space $LM$ of a Riemannian manifold $M$, because the critical points of the energy function on $LM$ are the closed geodesics on $M$. I will discuss an observed symmetry of the...

The sum-of-squares (SOS) hierarchy (due to Shor'85, Parrilo'00, and Lasserre'00) is a widely-studied meta-algorithm for (non-convex) polynomial optimization that has its roots in Hilbert's 17th problem about non-negative polynomials.SOS plays an...

We introduce a new approach for approximately counting in bounded degree systems with higher-order constraints. Our main result is an algorithm to approximately count the number of solutions to a CNF formula where the degree is exponential in the...

We discuss the Kadaira-Spencer gauge theory (or BCOV theory) on Calabi-Yau geometry. We explain Givental's loop space formalism at cochain level which leads to a degenerate BV theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Homotopic BV quantization together with a...
