Singular algebraic (sub)varieties are fundamental to the theory of smooth projective manifolds. In parallel with his introduction of pseudo-holomorphic curve techniques into symplectic topology 30 years ago, Gromov asked about the feasibility of...

The sum-of-squares (SOS) method is a conceptually simple algorithmic technique for polynomial optimization that---quite surprisingly---captures and generalizes the best known efficient algorithms for a wide range of NP-hard optimization problems...

Understanding the structure of large graphs is a fundamental problem, as it can yield critical insights into topics ranging from the spread of diseases to how the brain works to patterns in the primes. Szemerédi's regularity lemma gives a rough...

Monotonicity testing has been a touchstone problem in property testing for more than fifteen years, with many exciting recent developments in just the past few years. When specialized to Boolean-valued functions over $\{0,1\}^n$, we are interested...

Initiated by Langlands, the problem of computing the Hasse-Weil zeta functions of Shimura varieties in terms of automorphic L-functions has received continual study. We will discuss how recent progress in various aspects of the field has allowed the...
