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...

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...

Over a high-dimensional vector space Fnpover a fixed finite field Fp, the inverse theorem for the Gowers norm asserts that a bounded function f on this space that has a large Gowers Uk+1 norm, must necessarily correlate with a phase polynomial e(P)...

The history of “Oriental studies” especially during in the late modern period is still a largely neglected field. This gap is astonishing, given the vibrant scholarship on the “Science of Judaism” (“Wissenschaft des Judentums”) during the same...

We will discuss stochastic quantization i.e. Langevin dynamic of the Yang-Mills model on two and three dimensional torus. This is described by a Lie algebra valued stochastic PDE driven by space-time white noise. We construct (local) solution to...

We show that for any closed symplectic manifold, the number of 1-periodic orbits of any non-degenerate Hamiltonian is bounded from below by a version of total Betti number over Z, which takes account of torsions of all characteristics. The proof...

I will review some recent progress on regularity properties of vortex and SQG patches. In particular, I will present an example of a vortex patch with continuous initial curvature that immediately becomes infinite but returns to (C2) class at all...

The Chowla conjecture from 1965 predicts that all autocorrelations of the Liouville function vanish. In fact, after an adaptation, the Chowla conjecture was expected to hold for all aperiodic multiplicative functions with values in the unit disc (cf...

At Rutgers University-Camden, the student body is quite diverse, with many first-generation college students and students from underrepresented minority groups. Our students face financial challenges - a significantly large fraction of Rutgers...
