The effect of interparticle interactions on the critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation has been a controversial issue in the physics literature. Various approximation schemes lead to different conclusions, concerning both the sign and...

Every Boolean function on n variables can be expressed as a unique multivariate polynomial modulo p for every prime p. In this work, we study how the degree of a function in one characteristic affects its complexity in other characteristics. We...

In their seminal paper Feder and Vardi proved that every problem in the class Monotone Monadic Strict NP (MMSNP) is random polynomial-time equivalent to a finite union of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). The class MMSNP is the "largest...

It has been checked, for zillions of even numbers, that they can all be expressed as a sum of two primes. It has also been checked for zillions of (non-trivial) zeros of Zeta(s), that their real parts are all equal to one half. Alas, these checks do...

On Feb. 1, in his blog, Tim Gowers proposed an open collaboration on a math problem. Specifically, he suggested working on a combinatorial proof of the Density Hales-Jewett Theorem. This theorem states that for every delta > 0, if n is sufficiently...

In this talk, we will discuss how the circle method can be used to study additive number theory in function fields. After a brief introduction to the circle method and its history, we will describe how the method is implemented in the function field...
