I will review some theorems and conjectures about the structure of random permutations which arise in statistical mechanics. Conjectures about the cycle structure are related Bose-Einstein condensation and to universality of Wigner-Dyson statistics...

We present joint work with Jan Maas showing that Quantum Markov semigroups satisfying a detailed balance condition are gradient flow for quantum relative entropy, and use this prove some conjectured inequalities arising in quantum information theory...

I will explain the construction and the geometry of the non-archimedean SYZ fibration.

I will attempt to explain Costello's set up of the problem of perturbative quantization of a gauge theory in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, thus allowing us to formulate the main results of Costello and Li.

We provide a duality framework for Bayesian Mechanism Design. Specifically, we show that the dual problem to revenue maximization is a search over virtual transformations. This approach yields a unified view of several recent breakthroughs in...
