The main result of this work is an explicit disperser for two independent sources on $n$ bits, each of entropy $k=n^{o(1)}$. Put differently, setting $N=2^n$ and $K=2^k$, we construct explicit $N \times N$ Boolean matrices for which no $K \times K$...

Loop calculus is a new theoretical tool which allows to express partition function of a statistical inference/physics problem on a graph in terms of a series. Each term of the series is associated with a loop on the graph. Utility of the loop...

The first half of this talk will be devoted to describing Arthur's variant of the fundamental lemma for weighted orbital integrals. The second half will discuss a proof of the weighted fundamental lemma for Sp(4).

In this work, joint with A. Mohammadi, we try to classify all the discrete transitive actions on the vertices of a Bruhat-Tits Building over a local field of characteristic zero. There are lots of such actions in the case of Bruhat-Tits tree, i.e...

This will be an informal working seminar, trying to understand the recent paper of Birkar, Cascini, Hacon and McKernan on the finite generation of canonical rings.

On a topological space, algebraic topology and homological algebra endow cohomology groups with various filtrations. In the case of algebraic varieties, one may wonder if such filtrations, e.g. the Grothendieck filtration, the Leray filtration, the...

Recently, I defined an open Gromov-Witten invariant for Lagrangian submanifolds that arise as the real points of a real symplectic manifold. In this talk, I will discuss a calculation of the genus zero open Gromov-Witten theory of the Fermat type...
