Fontaine and Mazur have a remarkable conjecture that predicts
which (p-adic) Galois representations arise from geometry. In the
special case of two dimensional representations with distinct
Hodge-Tate weights, they further conjecture that these...
Collateralized Default Obligations (CDOs) and related financial
derivatives have been at the center of the last financial crisis
and subject of ongoing regulatory overhaul.
Despite their demonstrable benefits in economic theory, derivatives
suffer...
The uniformity norms are defined in different contexts in order
to distinguish the ``typical'' random functions, from the functions
that contain certain structures. A typical random function has
small uniformity norms, while a function with a non...
We give an algorithmic proof of Forster's Theorem, a fundamental
result in communication complexity. Our proof is based on a
geometric notion we call radial isotropic position which is related
to the well-known isotropic position of a set of vectors...
