In 2007, Dvir proved the Kakeya conjecture over finite fields. His proof uses the polynomial method: we take a hypothetical strange set, find a polynomial that vanishes on the set, and use properties of polynomials to show that the set does not...

Motivated in part by various sequences of graphs growing under random rules (like internet models), convergent sequences of dense graphs and their limits were introduced by Borgs, Chayes, Lovasz, Sos and Vesztergombi and by Lovasz and Szegedy. In...

First I will introduce the notion of Gelfand pair and its connection to invariant functions and distributions on the group, and give some examples. We will start from finite groups and compact groups and then go on to reductive groups over local...

The talk describes how pseudoholomorphic curve based techniques can be used to understand better the dynamics of autonomous Hamiltonian systems of two degrees of freedom restricted to a compact non-degenerate energy surface.

There was a small program during the second term (spring) of the 2009-2010 year on $A^1$-Homotopy Theory and its recent developments. Two directions were emphasized during this program: the proof of Bloch-Kato conjecture on Galois cohomology and...
