In cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a microscope generates a top view of a sample of randomly-oriented copies of a molecule. The cryo-EM problem is to use the resulting set of noisy 2D projection images taken at unknown directions to reconstruct...

In this talk we will present an overview of the hypermatrix generalization of matrix algebra proposed by Mesner and Bhattacharya in 1990. We will discuss a spectral theorem for hypermatrices deduced from this algebra as well as connections with...

This is intended to be a survey talk, accessible to a general mathematical audience. The cdh topology was created by Voevodsky to extend motivic cohomology from smooth varieties to singular varieties, assuming resolution of singularities (for...

We use critical block sensitivity, a new complexity measure introduced by Huynh and Nordstrom (STOC 2012) to study the communication complexity of search problems. Our main result is a simple proof that if \(S\) is a search problem with high...

Grothendieck has proposed, under the name of "motives" a kind of Galois theory for non algebraic numbers. A mystery of the so-called "standard model" in high energy physics is the occurrence of about twenty numerical constants, independent of the...

The Milnor fibre of any isolated hypersurface singularity contains exact Lagrangian spheres: the vanishing cycles associated to a Morsification of the singularity. Moreover, for simple singularities, it is known that the only possible exact...
