Seeded and seedless non-malleable extractors are non-trivial generalizations of the more commonly studied seeded and seedless extractors. The original motivation for constructing such non-malleable extractors are from applications to cryptography...

For certain applications of linear algebra, it is useful to understand the distribution of the largest eigenvalue of a finite sum of discrete random matrices. One of the useful tools in this area is the "Matrix Chernoff" bound which gives tight...

I will review some of the recent techniques we've used in our study of natural algorithms. These include Dirichlet series for matrix products, mean-field approximations in opinion dynamics, graph sequence grammars, and tools for renormalizing...

Differential privacy disentangles learning about a dataset as a whole from learning about an individual data contributor. Just now entering practice on a global scale, the...

This is a report on a work in progress in collaboration with Dinakar Ramakrishnan. A celebrated result of Mazur states that open modular curves of large enough level do not have rational points. We study analogous questions for the Picard modular...

I will discuss some results and open questions related to transport properties of 1D quasiperiodic operators with absolutely continuous spectra, and their relations to integrable many-body systems. Most of the results will be based on https://arxiv...

It is well known that representations of open compact subgroups (called types) play a fundamental role in studying representations of $p$-adic groups. We give an overview of the theory (after Bernstein, Moy-Prasad, Bushnell-Kutzko) in connection...
