The history of “Oriental studies” especially during in the late
modern period is still a largely neglected field. This gap is
astonishing, given the vibrant scholarship on the “Science of
Judaism” (“Wissenschaft des Judentums”) during the same...
We will discuss stochastic quantization i.e. Langevin dynamic of
the Yang-Mills model on two and three dimensional torus. This is
described by a Lie algebra valued stochastic PDE driven by
space-time white noise. We construct (local) solution to...
We show that for any closed symplectic manifold, the number of
1-periodic orbits of any non-degenerate Hamiltonian is bounded from
below by a version of total Betti number over Z, which takes
account of torsions of all characteristics. The proof...
I will review some recent progress on regularity properties of
vortex and SQG patches. In particular, I will present an example of
a vortex patch with continuous initial curvature that immediately
becomes infinite but returns to (C2) class at all...
The Chowla conjecture from 1965 predicts that all
autocorrelations of the Liouville function vanish. In fact, after
an adaptation, the Chowla conjecture was expected to hold for all
aperiodic multiplicative functions with values in the unit disc
(cf...
At Rutgers University-Camden, the student body is quite diverse,
with many first-generation college students and students from
underrepresented minority groups. Our students face financial
challenges - a significantly large fraction of Rutgers...
Davenport’s lemma has been a crucial ingredient in recent
applications of geometry of numbers to arithmetic statistics. The
lemma estimates, with error-term, the number of lattice points
contained in bounded semi-algebraic regions of ℝn in terms
of...
We face financial choices every day. From buying a morning
coffee, to an online shopping errand in the afternoon, we are asked
“Cash, Credit or Debit?” and “Pay Now or Later?” We
occasionally face bigger decisions, like whether to take out a
car...
In this talk, I will first discuss some instances in which
orbifolds occur in geometry and dynamics, in particular, in the
context of billiards and systolic inequalities. Then I will present
topological conditions for an orbifold to be a manifold...
A classical theorem of Neukirch and Uchida says that number
fields are completely determined by their absolute Galois groups.
One might wonder about analogous results for algebraic varieties:
in what situations can varieties be “reconstructed” from...
