We present the key ideas of a new proof of Landau damping for the Vlasov-Poisson equation obtained in a joint work with Bedrossian and Masmoudi. This nonlinear transport equation is a fundamental model for describing self-interacting plasmas or...

The Goncharov reading group is an informal seminar which will read the paper "Volumes of hyperbolic manifolds and mixed Tate motives" and related materials. We will meet on Wednesdays at 10 am in Simonyi 114.

In the last few years, there has been a lot of activity in the area of structural analysis and derandomization of polynomial threshold functions. Tools from analysis and probability have played a significant role in many of these works. The focus of...

A planar set that contains a unit segment in every direction is called a Kakeya set. These sets have been studied intensively in geometric measure theory and harmonic analysis since the work of Besicovich (1919); we find a new connection to game...

In this talk we will explain how to attach Galois representations to certain Hecke eigenforms in the coherent cohomology of good reduction Shimura varieties. As an application we will give a new proof of cases of a recent theorem of Scholze...

We consider a typical situation in which probability model itself has non-negligible cumulated uncertainty. A new concept of nonlinear expectation and the corresponding non-linear distributions has been systematically investigated: cumulated...

Free entropy is a quantity introduced 20 years ago by D. Voiculescu in order to investigate noncommutative probability spaces (e.g. von Neumann algebras). It is based on approximation by finite size matrices. I will describe the definition and main...

I will survey recent results and open problems in several areas of quantum complexity theory, with emphasis on open problems which can be phrased in terms of classical complexity theory or mathematics but have implications for quantum computing: 1...
