I present a new, fully anisotropic, criterion for formation of trapped surfaces in vacuum obtained in collaboration with J. Luk and I. Rodnianski. We provide conditions on null data, concentrated in a neighborhood of a short null geodesic segment...

We study algorithms for combinatorial market design problems, where a collection of objects are priced and sold to potential buyers subject to equilibrium constraints. We introduce the notion of a combinatorial Walrasian equilibium (CWE) as a...

We present practically efficient methods for proving correctness of announced results of a computation while keeping input and intermediate values information theoretically secret. These methods are applied to solve the long standing problem of...

A large class of one dimensional stochastic particle systems are predicted to share the same universal long-time/large-scale behavior. By studying certain integrable models within this (Kardar-Parisi-Zhang) universality class we access what should...

I will discuss recent work on the global stability of the Euler-Maxwell equations in 3D (joint work with Guo and Pausader), and of the gravity water-wave system in 2D (joint work with Pusateri).

Informally, uncertainty principle says that function and its Fourier transform can not be both concentrated. Uncertainty principle has a lot of applications in areas like compressed sensing, error correcting codes, number theory and many others. In...

We study some problems relating to polynomials evaluated either at random Gaussian or random Bernoulli inputs. We present some new work on a structure theorem for degree-d polynomials with Gaussian inputs. In particular, if p is a given degree-d...

We propose an “analytical” framework for studying parallel repetitions of one-round two-prover games. We define a new relaxation of the value of a game, val+, and prove that it is both multiplicative and a good approximation for the true value of...

To apply the technique of virtual fundamental cycle (chain) in the study of pseudo-holomorphic curve, we need to construct certain structure, which we call Kuranishi strucuture, on its moduli space. In this talk I want to review certain points of...
