The number of energetically stable structures that a system of N particles can form grows exponentially with N. Stabilizing any one structure over all others is thus a challenging problem. We consider a system of N spherical colloidal particles that...

Suppose a large number of voters have each rated or compared a small subset of a large number of alternatives, how could we rank the alternatives based on these data? The rank aggregation problem is fraught with famous difficulties --- Arrow's...

We present an iterative approach to constructing pseudorandom generators, based on the repeated application of mild pseudorandom restrictions. We use this template to construct pseudorandom generators for combinatorial rectangles and read-once CNFs...

Part of geometric representation theory involves constructing representations of algebras on the cohomology of algebraic varieties. A great example of such a construction is the work of Nakajima and Grojnowski, who independently constructed an...
