In a landmark paper in 1992, Stanley developed the foundations of what is now known as the Kazhdan--Lusztig--Stanley (KLS) theory. To each kernel in a graded poset, he associates special functions called KLS polynomials. This unifies and puts a...

We heard last week in Daoji's talk about positroid varieties, which are subvarieties in the Grassmannian defined by cyclic rank conditions, and which are related to Schubert varieties. In this talk, we will provide a criterion for whether positroid...

In this talk we will discuss some recent progress on some questions in extremal combinatorics and in multiparty communication complexity.

We will also discuss some general connections between the two fields, emphasizing how certain problems (e.g...

In 1975, Szemer\'edi proved that any subset of the natural numbers with positive upper density must contain arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions. Szemer\'edi's original argument was purely combinatorial, and then Furstenberg gave an...

In 2023, Raghu Meka and I proved a substantially improved bound on the size of the smallest set of integers in [N] which contains no 3-term arithmetic progression. Since then, it has become clear that the main new ideas from that work are in fact...

We will discuss an inductive approach to determining the asymptotic number of G-extensions of a number field with bounded discriminant, and outline the proof of Malle's conjecture in numerous new cases. This talk will include discussions of several...

A valuation is a finitely additive measure on the class of all convex compact subsets of $R^n$. Over the past two decades, a number of structures has been discovered on the space of translation invariant smooth valuations. Recently, these findings...
