We study the local testabilty of sparse linear codes. This
problem is intimately connected to the problem of tolerant
linearity testing of Boolean functions under nonuniform
distributions. We give linearity tests for several natural
and...
Shimon Attie, an internationally renowned visual artist,
presents and discusses a variety of his work, from his early
site-specific installations across Europe through his more recent
artworks that involve multiple-channel immersive video...
The $\lambda$-invariant is an invariant of an imaginary
quadratic field that measures the growth of class numbers in
cyclotomic towers over the field. It also measures the number of
zeroes of an associated $p$-adic L-function. In this talk, I
will...
The complexity of simple stochastic games (SSGs) has been open
since they were defined by Condon in 1992. Such a game is played by
two players, Min and Max, on a graph consisting of max nodes, min
nodes, and average nodes. The goal of Max is to...
The basic ingredients of Darwinian evolution, selection and
mutation, are very well described by simple mathematical models. In
1973, John Maynard Smith linked game theory with evolutionary
processes through the concept of evolutionarily stable...
