Today the prevailing method in mathematics is 'analytic', in the sense that all mathematical objects are broken down into very small bits. For instance, a space or manifold is regarded as merely a set of points with structure. By contrast, in a...

The Strauss conjecture for the Minkowski spacetime in three dimensions states that the semilinear equation \[\Box u=|u|^p,\ u(0) =\epsilon f,\ \partial_t u(0) = \epsilon g\] has a global solution for all $f$ and$g$ smooth, compactly supported and $...

Quillen's higher K-groups, defined in 1971, paved the way for motivic cohomology of algebraic varieties. Their definition as homotopy groups of combinatorially constructed topological spaces initially seems abstract and inaccessible. In this talk...
