These two talks will be about automorphic cohomology in the non-classical case. By definition, automorphic cohomology are the groups $H^q( \Gamma \backslash D, L)$ where $D$ is a homogeneous complex manifold $G_{\mathbb R}/H$, $G_{\mathbb R}$ is a...

The complexity of simple stochastic games (SSGs) has been open since they were defined by Condon in 1992. Such a game is played by two players, Min and Max, on a graph consisting of max nodes, min nodes, and average nodes. The goal of Max is to...

The basic ingredients of Darwinian evolution, selection and mutation, are very well described by simple mathematical models. In 1973, John Maynard Smith linked game theory with evolutionary processes through the concept of evolutionarily stable...

Recently there has been much interest in polynomial threshold functions in the context of learning theory, structural results and pseudorandomness. A crucial ingredient in these works is the understanding of the distribution of low-degree...

The Gaussian central limit theorem says that for a wide class of stochastic systems, the bell curve (Gaussian distribution) describes the statistics for random fluctuations of important observables. In this talk I will look beyond this class of...

We proved with Umberto Zannier that there are at most finitely many complex numbers $\lambda \neq 0,1$ such that two points on the Legendre elliptic curve $y^2=x(x-1)(x-\lambda)$ with coordinates $x=2$ and $x=3$ both have finite order. However we...
