In this talk, we have two subjects. I. Partial toroidal compactifications and moduli of PLH. II. The eight enlargements of Griffiths domain D and the fundamental diagram. For I, we have Theorem. For a given pair of global monodromy and fan, there...

While a continuation of last week's lecture, I'll try to make it self contained. I will describe some of the ideas and tools used in the proof of the Sum-Product theorem. I will describe a statistical version, and its use in extractor construction.

Consider the minimum cost spanning tree problem under the restriction that all degrees must be at most a given value $k$. The main result I will present is that one can efficiently find a spanning tree of maximum degree at most $k+2$ whose cost is...

About two years ago Bourgain, Katz and Tao proved that in every finite field, a set which does not grow "much" when we add all pairs of elements, and when we multiply all pairs of elements, must be very "close" to a subfield. This theorem revealed...

A model based on independent bond percolation is defined. It is demonstrated that this model exhibits critical behavior and, at least at the level of Cardy's formula, has the same limiting continuum behavior as the site model.

Using ideas from computational learning theory, I'll show that "for most practical purposes," one can learn a quantum state using a number of measurements that grows only linearly with the number of qubits n. By contrast, traditional quantum state...
