Given a flow on a manifold, how to perturb it in order to create
a periodic orbit passing through a given region? While the first
results in this direction were obtained in the 1960-ies, various
facets of this question remain largely open. I will...
Determining the complexity of matrix multiplication is a
fundamental problem of theoretical computer science. It is
popularly conjectured that matrices can be multiplied in
nearly-linear time. If true, this conjecture would yield
similarly-fast...
Phenomena involving interactions of waves happen at different
scales and in different media: from gravitational waves to the
waves on the surface of the ocean, from our milk and coffee in the
morning to infinitesimal particles that behave like wave...
I will start by introducing and motivating the (two-component)
Coulomb gas on the d-dimensional lattice Zd. I will then present
some puzzling properties of the fluctuations of this Coulomb gas.
The connection of this model with integer-valued fields...
The successive minima of an order in a degree n number field are
n real numbers encoding information about the Euclidean structure
of the order. How many orders in degree n number fields are there
with almost prescribed successive minima, fixed...

Finding the smallest integer N=ES_d(n) such that in every
configuration of N points in R^d in general position there exist n
points in convex position is one of the most classical problems in
extremal combinatorics, known as the Erdős-Szekeres...
A Locally Decodable Codes (LDC) is an error correcting code
which allows the decoding of a single message symbol from a few
queries to a possibly corrupted encoding. LDCs can be
constructed, for example, from low degree polynomials over a
finite...
