Let $E$ be a CM elliptic curves over rationals and $p$ an odd prime ordinary for $E$. If the $\mathbb Z_p$ corank of $p^\infty$ Selmer group for $E$ equals one, then we show that the analytic rank of $E$ also equals one. This is joint work with...

We present a new approach to the existence of time quasi-periodic solutions to nonlinear PDE's. It is based on the method of Anderson localization, harmonic analysis and algebraic analysis. This can be viewed as an infinite dimensional analogue of a...

In 1979, O. Heilmann and E.H. Lieb introduced an interacting dimer model with the goal of proving the emergence of a nematic liquid crystal phase in it. In such a phase, dimers spontaneously align, but there is no long range translational order...

The generalised Kato classes of Darmon-Rotger arise as $p$-adic limits of diagonal cycles on triple products of modular curves, and in some cases, they are predicted to have a bearing on the arithmetic of elliptic curves over $Q$ of rank two. In...

According to Langlands, pure motives are related to a certain class of automorphic representations.

Can one see mixed motives in the automorphic set-up? For examples, can one see periods of mixed motives in entirely automorphic terms? The goal of...

We construct near optimal linear decision trees for a variety of decision problems in combinatorics and discrete geometry.

For example, for any constant $k$, we construct linear decision...

Inspired by homological mirror symmetry for non-compact manifolds, one wonders what functorial properties wrapped Fukaya categories have as mirror to those for the derived categories of the mirror varieties, and also whether homological mirror...

We introduce the notion of a "crystallographic sphere packing," which generalizes the classical Apollonian circle packing. Tools from arithmetic groups, hyperbolic geometry, and dynamics are used to show that, on one hand, there is an infinite zoo...

The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f$ is the least degree of a real polynomial that approximates $f$ pointwise to error at most $1/3$. For any constant $\delta > 0$, we exhibit an AC$^0$ function of approximate degree $\Omega(n^{1-\delta}...

I will discuss a recent result in collaboration with J. Szeftel concerning the nonlinear stability of the Schwarzschild spacetime under axially symmetric, polarized perturbations.

The gravitational waves detected recently by LIGO were produced in...
