We consider cubic Weyl sums of the form \sum_{n=N}^{2N} e(x\cdot(n,n^3)), where x lies in the unit square [0,1]^2.

Let V be a vector space of dimension 2n over the field F_2 with two elements. Assume that we are given a nondegenerate symplectic form on V with values in F_2.

Stein's Restriction conjecture concerns functions whose Fourier transform is supported on the unit sphere in R^n.

This is the inaugural R.L. Cohen Distinguished Lecture.

There are many facts about spheres in high dimensions that are extremely counterintuitive when one's instincts anchor too heavily on circles and spheres in 2 and 3 dimensions.

There are situations in geometry and group theory where it is natural, convenient or necessary to explore infinite groups via their actions on finite objects – i.e.

A theater performance about the life of one of history's most influential mathematicians, starring Anita Zieher and directed by Sandra Schueddekopf.

The stochastic block model is a canonical model of communities in random graphs.

The interchange process $\sigma_T$ is a permutation valued stochastic process on a graph evolving in time by transpositions on its edges at rate 1.

Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) is one of the most important developments in quantum algorithms in the past decade.

Wave turbulence theory is a vast subject and its goal is to formulate for us a multiscale picture of wave interactions.
