Fundamental questions in basic and applied ecology alike involve complex adaptive systems, in which localized interactions among individual agents give rise to emergent patterns that feed back to affect individual behavior. In such systems, a...

Polar codes have recently emerged as a new class of low-complexity codes achieving Shannon capacity. This talk introduces polar codes with emphasis on the probabilistic phenomenon underlying the code construction. New results and connections to...

The string topology of Chas-Sullivan produces operations on the homology of the free loop space of orientable manifolds, and analogous structures are known to exist on the symplectic cohomology of their cotangent bundles. Work of Kragh has shown...

I will report on the construction of p-integral models of various algebraic compactifications of PEL-type Shimura varieties and Kuga families, allowing ramification (including deep levels) at p, with good behaviors over the loci where certain...
