We affirmatively resolve the energy image density conjecture of Bouleau and Hirsch (1986). This conjecture generalizes a foundational result in Malliavin calculus: the non-degeneracy of the Malliavin matrix of a random variable implies absolute...

We use a U-Net to make baseline power forecasts and train a diffusion model on its residuals to capture uncertainty. The diffusion samples naturally show low ensemble spread during stable atmospheric conditions and much wider spread when the...

Epithelial tissues that line many of the body organs are often formed by a layer of living cells surrounded by the non-living basement membrane (BM). During development and in normal physiology, the organs and their lining epithelial tissues are...

In this talk, I shall present a unifying approach to study the replica-symmetric regime of general dilute spin glasses. In particular, we identify two regimes - high temperature and subcritical dilution - where we observe a large class of popular...

Powers of Vandermonde determinants serve as model wave functions for the fractional quantum Hall effect. In this talk I will explain how one can realize the coefficients in the monomial basis as expectation values of operator products and how this...

Recent advances in experimental methodologies and community efforts led to a surge in large and heterogeneous biological datasets across all scales, that require the developments of new methods to extract meaningful information. In this context, I...

Cubic fourfolds have been classically studied up to birational equivalence, with a view toward the rationality problem. The Fano variety of lines F(X) on a cubic fourfold X is a hyperkähler manifold, and the rationality of X is conjecturally captured...

I will discuss several recent results on the Turán density of long cycle-like hypergraphs. These results (due to Kamčev–Letzter–Pokrovskiy, Balogh–Luo, and myself) all follow a similar framework, and I will outline a general strategy to prove Turán...
