Polynomials, Permutations, Prime Ideals, and factoring Polynomials modulo p
The talk began as an attempt to answer the following question - if f(x) is an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients, does it remain irreducible modulo p for infinitely many primes p? It turns out that the answer is sometimes yes and som  more››

On the Untraced Second Bianchi Identities in General Relativity
Einstein's equations set space-time curvature traces proportional to the space-time's mechanical content expressed as a stress- energy tensor. The divergence of a stress-energy tensor is the external force density acting on the matter described by th  more››

Large Inverse Problems and Infinite Dimensional Sampling: Stochastic PDE for Sampling Conditioned SD
There are a variety of important applications which may be formulated as inverse problems where the object of interest is the time-dependent solution of a dynamical system. Examples include the sampling of rare events in molecular dynamics, data assi  more››

Some applications of the graph of supersingular elliptic curves over a finite field
The graph of supersingular elliptic curves over a finite field connected by isogenies has many applications in computational number theory. In this talk we look at some old (in number theory) and new (in cryptography) applications of these gr  more››
