We present an approach to showing that a linear code is resilient to random errors. We use this approach to obtain decoding results for both transitive codes and Reed-Muller codes. We give three kinds of results about linear codes in…

We consider the problem of maximizing $\langle c,x \rangle$ subject to the constraints $Ax \leq \mathbf{1}$, where $x\in R^n$, $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix with mutually independent centered subgaussian entries of unit variance, and $c$ is…

We study smooth linear spectral statistics of twisted Laplacians on random $n$-covers of a fixed compact hyperbolic surface $X$. We consider two aspects of such statistics. The first is the fluctuations of such statistics in a small energy…
