We will introduce the research area of complex dynamics by studying the family of (complex) quadratic polynomials, $z->z^2+c$. Historically, mathematicians first studied the dynamics of {\em real} quadratic polynomials and then moved to the complex...

In this talk we consider the oriented colouring problem for graphs with bounded Euler genus. That is we consider the smallest $k$ such that all oriented graphs embeddable on surfaces of Euler genus at most $g$ necessarily have an oriented...

We show that various classical theorems of real/complex linear incidence geometry, such as the theorems of Pappus, Desargues, Möbius, and so on, can be interpreted as special cases of a single "master theorem" that involves an arbitrary tiling of a...

Super-resolution microscopy enables the use of fluorescent-based molecular localization tools to study molecular structure at the nanoscale level in the intact cell, bridging the mesoscale gap to classical structural biology methodologies. Analysis...

A basic aim of homological algebra is to establish invariants for various algebraic objects. This is achieved by constructing resolutions for these objects. These resolutions can be intractable, however for quadratic algebras one obtains a simpler...

We consider a class of disordered mean-field combinatorial optimization problems, focusing on the Gibbs measure, where the inverse temperature does not vary with the size of the graph and the edge weights are sampled from a general distribution. We...

Measuring the serial dependence across time is critical in model identification and diagnosis in time series (TS) analysis. In classic TS analysis, the autocorrelation function is perhaps the most widely used method to examine the temporal...
