There is a remarkable parallel between the theory of Coxeter groups (think of the symmetric group or the dihedral group) and matroids (think of your favorite graph or point…

The multivariate Tutte polynomial, known to physicists as the Potts-model partition function, can be defined for any finite graph.

Title: Legendrian Submanifolds, Contact Homology and Augmentations.

Join us in celebrating Brian White’s long career of highly original contributions to Geometric Measure Theory, Minimal Surfaces, and Mean Curvature Flow.

Maryam Mirzakhani made dramatic advances in our understanding of the geometry and dynamics of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces.

In 2017, a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device by General Electric and Siemens entered the marketplace with an advertised 10-fold speedup over traditional MRI and the potential to impact…

It is well known that in mean-field spin glasses, the annealed free energy typically does not agree with the quenched one, even at high temperature.

The aim of this talk is to describe these moduli spaces and outline their GIT construction, and then explain how recent methods from non-reductive GIT can help us to classify the singularities of…

The polaron describes an electron coupled to a polar crystal. A particular Hamiltonian was proposed by Herbert Froehlich.

In October 2017, I found myself testifying for hours in a federal court.  I had not been arrested.

Let X be our favorite Banach space of continuous functions on R^n.
