The Kuramoto synchronization model is the reference model for synchronization phenomena in biology (and, to a certain extent, also in other fields). The model is formulated as a dynamical system of interacting plane rotators. Variations of it...

The long code is a central tool in hardness of approximation, especially in questions related to the unique games conjecture. Many hardness reductions and constructions of integrality gap instances use the long code as a core gadget. However, this...

Bordered Floer homology is an invariant for three-manifolds with boundary (or, more precisely, three-manifolds with parameterized boundary), constructed using pseudo-holomorphic curve techniques. The theory associates to a marked surface a...

In 1970s Paul Erdos asked the following question: Consider all the boolean strings of length n. Assume that one has chosen a subset S of the strings such that no two chosen strings are different in precisely n/4 (or its closest even integer)...

I will discuss two of my current projects which have different aims but use similar techniques. The first aims to understand the equivariant K-theory of symplectic orbifolds. The second is about the topology of toric origami manifolds. Neither space...
