In physics, the twentieth century started with the twin
revolutions of relativity and quantum mechanics. Much of the second
half of the century was devoted to the construction of a
theoretical structure unifying these radical ideas,
confirmed...
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...
