Resilient functions
4:15pm|S-101

A resilient function $f: X^n \to \{0,1\}$, for some set $X$, is such that every subset of coordinates of bounded size has small influence on the function. Such functions have applications in computer science, and are of independent interest of study...

Zeros of polynomials on Cartesian products
Orit Raz
5:00pm|S-101

I will review some recent results regarding the general problem of characterizing algebraic surfaces of the form $F(x,y,z)=0$ that can contain $\Theta(n^2)$ points of a $n \times n \times n$ Cartesian product.

Period map: past, present and the future
4:30pm

I will start from a simple statement: the radius of a sphere determines the shape of it. This simple statement has been generalized to the study of Riemann surfaces, K3 surfaces, Hyperkähler manifolds and other important objects. Recently, the...
