We present an iterative approach to constructing pseudorandom generators, based on the repeated application of mild pseudorandom restrictions. We use this template to construct pseudorandom generators for combinatorial rectangles and read-once...

The surprising nostalgia for densely hung exhibitions that developed among some French museological circles in the 1920s and 1930s has much to tell us about interpreting display practice. In this lecture, Martha Ward, Associate Professor of Art...

Part of geometric representation theory involves constructing representations of algebras on the cohomology of algebraic varieties. A great example of such a construction is the work of Nakajima and Grojnowski, who independently constructed an...

We study a new type of proof system, where an unbounded prover and a polynomial time verifier interact, on inputs a string $x$ and a function $f$, so that the Verifier may learn $f(x)$. The novelty of our setting is that there no longer are ``good...

In three very interesting and suggestive papers, H. Carayol introduced new aspects of complex geometry and Hodge theory into the study of non-classical automorphic representations -- in particular, those involving the totally degenerate limits of...
