How do things hold up? What are the geometric ideas that are involved? One of the principles can be seen with simple models, where sticks are suspended in mid-air with inextendable cables. These were called tensegrities by Buckminster Fuller...

I shall explain the structure of correlation functions for square-free numbers and describe a 'natural' dynamical system associated to them. Spectral analysis allows us to show that this system is metrically isomorphic to a translation on a compact...

This is a survey talk about different attempts to deal with the very troubling phenomena of independence in Set Theory.

We show that it is possible to encode any communication protocol between two parties so that the protocol succeeds even if a (1/4-epsilon) fraction of all symbols transmitted by the parties are corrupted adversarially, at a cost of increasing the...

Seifert fibered 4-manifolds are the 4-dimensional analog of Seifert 3-manifolds in that these are the 4-manifolds which admit a fixed-point free smooth circle action. In this talk I'll first review what is known and then present some recent results...

We prove the existence of second main term of order X^{5/6} for the function counting cubic fields. This confirms a conjecture of Datskovsky-Wright and Roberts. We also prove a variety of generalizations, including to arithmetic progressions, where...
