I will report on recent joint work with L. Lanzani on three basic projection operators, each associated to an appropriate domain in C^n. These are: variants of Cauchy-Fantappie integrals; the Cauchy-Szego projection: and the Bergman projection. The...

Welschinger invariants, real analogs of genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants, provide non-trivial lower bounds in real algebraic geometry. In this talk I will explain how to get some wall-crossing formulas relating Welschinger invariants of the same (up...

The classical Kuga-Satake construction, over the complex numbers, uses Hodge theory to attach to each polarized K3 surface an abelian variety in a natural way. Deligne and Andre extended this to fields of characteristic zero, and their results can...

"I seemed to see the membraneous and cylindrical tubes tremble beneath the undulation of the waters." - Jules Verne (describing Captain Nemo's underwater garden in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) For over half a century, microscopists have seemed to...

I will demonstrate how the Cocke-Kasami-Younger (CKY) algorithm, a standard dynamic programming technique that is normally used in natural language parsing, can be adapted to give us novel insights into the protein folding problem. If we assume that...
