A common way for lower bounding the expansion of a graph is by looking the second smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix. Also known as the easy direction of Cheeger's inequality, this bound becomes too weak when the expansion is o(1). In 2004...

GIT and $\mu$-GIT

Dietmar Salamon

In this lecture I will explain the moment-weight inequality, and its role in the proof of the Hilbert-Mumford numerical criterion for $\mu$-stability. The setting is Hamiltonian group actions on closed Kaehler manifolds. The major ingredients are...

Kinetic transport in quasicrystals

Jens Marklof

Previous studies of kinetic transport in the Lorentz gas have been limited to cases where the scatterers are distributed at random (e.g. at the points of a spatial Poisson process) or at the vertices of a Euclidean lattice. In this talk I will...
