The infinity Laplacian (informally, the "second derivative in the gradient direction") is a simple yet mysterious operator with many applications. "Tug of war" is a two player random turn game played as follows: SETUP: Assign each player one of two...

The main goal of this talk will be to present a proof of the following theorem. Theorem 1: For every fixed \delta >0 here is a polynomial time (in n = log N) computable function(s) f:[N]x[N]-->{0,1}, for which the following hold. For every two sets...

In 2002, J.B. Conrey and K. Soundararajan showed that there are infinitely many Dirichlet $L$-functions which do not vanish on the critical segment. Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions they considered. Following their work, a...

Ordinary 3-by-3 tic-tac-toe is trivial; the 3-dimensional 4-by-4-by-4 version is interesting but very complicated (first player wins; solved by Patashnik; heavy computer use); and the 5-by-5-by-5 version is already unsolved (expected to be a draw)...

A hiker holding an analog altimeter (with a needle indicating altitude modulo a constant $\chi$) in one hand and a compass in the other traces an {\em altimeter-compass ray (ACR)} by walking in such a way that the altimeter and compass needles are...
