In 1975 Goppa suggested a general method for constructing error correcting codes based on algebraic geometry. In a long line of research such codes were constructed, constituting as a precious example of a construction that beats the probabilistic...

Joint work with Ivan Smith. Let p be a positive integer. Take the quotient of a 2-disc by the equivalence relation which identifies two boundary points if the boundary arc connecting them subtends an angle which is an integer multiple of ($2 \pi / p...

In this talk we will show how modular forms can be applied to energy minimization problems in Euclidean space. Namely, we will explain Cohn-Elkies linear programming method and present explicit constructions of corresponding certificate functions...

HMS started with Kontsevich's 1994 ICM address. By now, it is a mature area of mathematics in its own right, but still one that can be approached from many...
