In this lecture, Owen M. Fiss, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law and Professorial Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School, examines the state of the constitutional rules protecting the privacy of telephone conversations. These rules were first announced...

A general algebraic formalism for the mathematical modeling of physical systems is sketched. This formalism is sufficiently general to encompass classical and quantum-mechanical models. It is then explained in which way quantum theory differs in an...

In this talk we will discuss information complexity -- a measure of the amount of information Alice and Bob need to exchange to solve a problem over distributed inputs. We will present an information-theoretically optimal protocol for computing the...

The Ginzburg-Landau theory was first developed to explain magnetic and other properties of superconductors, but had a profound influence on physics well beyond its original area. It had the first demonstration of the Higgs mechanism and it...

For an abelian surface A over a number field k, we study the limiting distribution of the normalized Euler factors of the L-function of A. Under the generalized Sato-Tate conjecture, this is equal to the distribution of characteristic...
