In defining colouring of oriented graphs via homomorphism one finds an easily checkable necessary condition for a valid colouring — vertices at directed distance at most two must receive different colours. With this idea in mind we extend the...

We prove a new signed elementary symmetric function expansion of the chromatic symmetric function. We then use sign-reversing involutions to prove e -positivity for graphs formed by joining cycles or cliques at single vertices. By considering...

In this talk we will discuss the behaviour of the Riemann zeta on the critical line, and in particular, its correlations in various ranges. We will prove a new result for correlations of squares, where shifts may be up to size T3/2-ε. We will also...

Single particle cryo-EM is an increasingly popular technique for determining 3-D molecular structures at high resolution. The 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three of the pioneers of cryo-EM, and already in the early stages of the global...

Operator learning is an emerging field at the intersection of machine learning, physics, and mathematics, that aims to discover properties of unknown physical systems from experimental data. Popular techniques exploit the approximation power of deep...

In 1973, assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH), Montgomery studied the vertical distribution of zeta zeros, and conjectured that they behave like the eigenvalues of some random matrices. We will discuss some models for zeta zeros - starting from the...

Let us ask: What is a "strong" matrix property and why is such a property useful for studying eigenvalues of graphs? During this talk we will attempt to address both questions above by first wandering through some of the developed strong matrix...
