About 100 years ago, William Henry Young and Felix Hausdorff provedthat, for a periodic L_p-integrable function, the sequence of its Fourier coefficients necessarily lies in the discrete \ell_{p'} space provided that p' is the conjugate of p and 1

The blow up of the anticanonical base point on X, a del Pezzo surface of degree 1, gives rise to a rational elliptic surface E with only irreducible fibers. The sections of minimal height of E are in correspondence with the 240 exceptional curves on...

I will give a brief overview of the various types of generating functions and its applications in determining likely/unlikely behaviors of random structures. Second, I will focus on my recent work on the asymptotics and statistics of random Fishburn...

Hitchin's equations are a system of gauge theoretic equations on a Riemann surface that are of interest in many areas including representation theory, Teichmuller theory, and the geometric Langlands correspondence. The Hitchin moduli space carries a...

Despite the promise of big data, inferences are often limited not by sample size but rather by systematic effects. Only by carefully modeling these effects can we take full advantage of the data -- big data must be complemented with big models and...
