I will present an exciting new interaction between computer science and fair division theory, with the goal of giving the audience a taste of different fair division challenges and the role computational thinking plays in addressing them. Among...

What do quantum interference, flocking of birds, Facebook communities, and stock prices have in common?

Many natural and social phenomena may be viewed as inherently computational; they evolve patterns of information that can be described...

In this talk, we study two natural circle actions in Floer theory, one on symplectic cohomology and one on the Hochschild homology of the Fukaya category. We show that the geometric open-closed string map between these two complexes is \(S^1\)...

One of the major themes of the analytic theory of automorphic forms is the connection between equidistribution and subconvexity. An early example of this is the famous result of Duke showing the equidistribution of Heegner points on the modular...

I will discuss a 1965 conjecture of J. Andrews and M. Curtis---a beguilingly straightforward statement about presentations of the trivial group, which has striking significance in low-dimensional topology: e.g. in relation to the 3-dimensional...
