Expansion in Linear Groups and Applications
Conformal Geometry of Differential Equations
Pawel Nurowski
Given two differential equations it is often useful to know
invariants which guarantee that there exists a transformation of
variables (independent, dependent or both) that transforms one of
the equations into the other. Recently it has been...
On Neck Pinching Under Mean Curveature Flow
Israel Michael Sigal
In this talk we describe some recent result as well as the work
in progress on the neck pinching of surfaces under under mean
curvature flow.
Existence and Uniqueness of Meissner State Solutions to Nonselfdual Chern-Simons-Higgs Equation
In this talk, we prove existence and uniqueness of vortexless
solutions for Chern-Simons-Higgs equation in nonselfdual case.
Differential Complexes in Conformal Geometry
Rod Gover
The de Rham complex is a prototype for a large class of
sequences of differential operators often called (generalized)
Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand BGG sequences. Conformal manifolds admit
such sequences and on locally conformally flat manifolds the...
In this work we study the task of randomness extraction from
sources which are distributed uniformly on an unknown algebraic
variety. In other words, we are interested in constructing a
function (an extractor) whose output is close to uniform
even...
Direct-Product Testing, and a New 2-Query PCPs
The ``direct product code'' of a function $f$ gives its values
on all $k$-tuples $(f(x_1),\dots,f(x_k))$. This basic construct
underlies “hardness amplification” in cryptography, circuit
complexity and PCPs. A recent breakthrough by Dinur and...
