This is an expository paper on rationally connected varieties. The aim is to provide an introduction to the subject, as well as to discuss a recent result by T. Graber, J. Harris and J. Starr. The paper is based on the talk I gave at the…
I gave a rambling talk about gravity and its many mysteries at Chen-Ning Yang's 85th Birthday Celebration held in November 2007. I don't have any answers.
These myh lectures at the Park City conference in 1998.
Invited talk at the EPS-HEPP meeting in Krakow, July 2009. My first thought, and presumably the default expectation, was that I'd talk in a general way about the grandeur of high energy physics and the exciting future we anticipate,…
I survey results about, and recent applications of, Salem numbers.
I summarize the theory talks presented at the International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics 2008.

This is an extension and background to a talk I gave on 9 October 2013 to the Brown Graduate Student Seminar, called `A friendly intro to sieves with a look towards recent progress on the twin primes conjecture.' During the talk, I mention…
We survey the recent developments in the area that grew out of attempts to extend an analog of Hilbert's Tenth Problem to the field of rational numbers and rings of integers of number fields. The paper is based on a plenary talk the author…
The present paper is a brief overview of random opinion dynamics on random graphs based on the Ising Lecture given by the author at the World Congress in Probability and Statistics, 12--16 August 2024, Bochum, Germany. The content is a…
This article summarizes - from a personal perspective - some of the main themes that have emerged at this conference and in this field generally in the past few years.

This report on the topics in the title was written for a lecture series at the Southwestern Center for Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry at the University of Arizona.It may serve as an introduction to certain conjectural relations between…
This is the written version of a short talk given at the University of Leipzig in December 1998. It reviews some general aspects of string theory from the viewpoint of the search for an unifying theory. Here, special emphasis lies on the…
Gassert's paper "A NOTE ON THE MONOGENEITY OF POWER MAPS" is cited at least by $17$ papers in the context of monogeneity of pure number fields despite some errors that it contains and remarks on it. In this note, we point out some of these…
