We explicitly construct an extractor for two independent sources on
$n$ bits, each with min-entropy at least $\log^C n$ for a large
enough constant $C$. Our extractor outputs one bit and has error
$n^{-\Omega(1)}$. The best previous extractor, by...

Starting from the Poisson summation formula, I discuss spectral
summation formulae on GL(2) and GL(3) and present a variety of
applications to automorphic forms, analytic number theory, and
arithmetic.
