Over the past decades, much attention has been devoted to the
detection of small inhomogeneities in materials or tissues, using
non-invasive techniques, primarily electromagnetic wave-fields. The
characterization of the signature of small inclusions...

The 2010–11 season of Writers Conversations, curated by
Institute Artist-in-Residence Derek Bermel, began with a reading
and discussion with a younger generation of groundbreaking
poets.
Tracy K. Smith, the host of the panel, is Assistant
Professor...
The cohomology of arithmetic groups (with real coefficients) is
usually understood in terms of automorphic forms. Such methods,
however, fail (at least naively) to capture information about
torsion classes in integral cohomology. We discuss a...
In this talk I will overview two very different kinds of random
simplicial complex, both of which could be considered
higher-dimensional generalizations of the Erdos-Renyi random graph,
and discuss what is known and not known about the expected...
We give a pseudorandom generator, with seed length $O(log n)$,
for $CC0[p]$, the class of constant-depth circuits with unbounded
fan-in $MODp$ gates, for prime $p$. More accurately, the seed
length of our generator is $O(log n)$ for any constant...
I will introduce l-adic representations and what it means for
them to be automorphic, talk about potential automorphy as an
alternative to automorphy, explain what can currently be proved
(but not how) and discuss what seem to me the important open...
