A Non-Isotropic Mechanism for the Formation of Trapped Surfaces
Sergiu Klainerman
I present a new, fully anisotropic, criterion for formation of
trapped surfaces in vacuum obtained in collaboration with J. Luk
and I. Rodnianski. We provide conditions on null data, concentrated
in a neighborhood of a short null geodesic segment...
Combinatorial Walrasian Equilibrium
Michal Feldman
We study algorithms for combinatorial market design problems,
where a collection of objects are priced and sold to potential
buyers subject to equilibrium constraints. We introduce the notion
of a combinatorial Walrasian equilibium (CWE) as a...
Cryptography and Preventing Collusion in Second Price (Vickery) Auctions
Michael Rabin
We present practically efficient methods for proving correctness
of announced results of a computation while keeping input and
intermediate values information theoretically secret. These methods
are applied to solve the long standing problem of...
New Limiting Theorems for the Mobius Function
Yakov Sinai
The talk is based on a recent work of M. Avdeeva (Princeton
University), D. Li (IAS) and Ya. G. Sinai (Princeton University).
We consider some new probability distributions related to the
Mobius function and discuss their statistical properties. A...
Harmonic Maass Forms of Weight One
I will describe work with Yingkun Li on some arithmetic
properties of the Fourier coefficients of harmonic modular forms of
weight one. These are Maass forms of weight one whose eigenvalue
under the Laplacian is zero and that are allowed to have...
Integrable Stochastic Particle Systems and Macdonald Processes
A large class of one dimensional stochastic particle systems are
predicted to share the same universal long-time/large-scale
behavior. By studying certain integrable models within this
(Kardar-Parisi-Zhang) universality class we access what
should...
A Hollywood Celebrity, the `Bad Boy' of Music, and the History of Modern Wireless Communications
Cellular telephones, GPS, radar imaging, and most other modern
wireless systems would not exist without the sophisticated
mathematical and digital techniques that are used to encode and
decode their messages. These “spread spectrum” methods,
under...
On the Existence of Global Solutions of Certain Fluid Models
I will discuss recent work on the global stability of the
Euler-Maxwell equations in 3D (joint work with Guo and Pausader),
and of the gravity water-wave system in 2D (joint work with
Pusateri).
