By introducing a more flexible notion of convexity, we obtain a new Omori-Yau maximum principle for harmonic maps. In the spirit of the Calabi-Yau conjectures, this principle is more suitable for studying the unboundedness of certain…

Suppose that $(X,d,\mu)$ is a metric measure space of finite Hausdorff dimension and that, for every Lipschitz $f \colon X \to \mathbb R$, $\operatorname{Lip}(f,\cdot)$ is dominated by every upper gradient of $f$. We show that $X$ is a…

We improve the estimates in the restriction problem in dimension $n \ge 4$. To do so, we establish a weak version of a $k$-linear restriction estimate for any $k$. The exponents in this weak $k$-linear estimate are sharp for all $k$ and…

We improve Kolyvagin's upper bound on the order of the $p$-primary part of the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve of rank one over a quadratic imaginary field. In many cases, our bound is precisely the one predicted by the Birch…

We solve a generalised form of a conjecture of Kalai motivated by attempts to improve the bounds for Borsuk's problem. The conjecture can be roughly understood as asking for an analogue of the Frankl-R\"odl forbidden intersection theorem in…

We give a new, systematic proof for a recent result of Larry Guth and thus also extend the result to a setting with several families of varieties: For any integer $D\geq 1$ and any collection of sets $\Gamma_1,\ldots,\Gamma_j$ of low-degree…

In this paper we present two frameworks in which global maximization of a bounded hessian function over a strongly convex set can be reduced to convex optimization. The first presented framework is a continuation of one of our previous…

We use the polynomial partitioning method of Guth to prove weighted Fourier restriction estimates in $\Bbb R^3$ with exponents $p$ that range between $3$ and $3.25$, depending on the weight. As a corollary to our main theorem, we obtain new…

The Nakayama conjecture states that an algebra of infinite dominant dimension should be self-injective. Motivated by understanding this conjecture in the context of derived categories, we study dominant dimensions of algebras under derived…

The purpose of these notes is describe the state of progress on the restriction problem in harmonic analysis, with an emphasis on the developments of the past decade or so on the Euclidean space version of these problems for spheres and…

We formulate a generalization of the volume conjecture for planar graphs. Denoting by <G, c> the Kauffman bracket of the graph G whose edges are decorated by real "colors" c, the conjecture states that, under suitable conditions, certain…

We prove $d$-linear analogues of the classical restriction and Kakeya conjectures in $\R^d$. Our approach involves obtaining monotonicity formulae pertaining to a certain evolution of families of gaussians, closely related to heat flow. We…

We show that a certain conjectured optimal reverse Littlewood- Paley inequality would, if true, imply sharp results for the Kakeya maximal function, the Bochner-Riesz means and the Fourier restriction operator.

We improve the best known exponent for the restriction conjecture in R^6. Our idea is applicable to any dimension n satisfying n = 0 mod 3, though we do not explicitly calculate the improvement for n > 6. This improves the recent results of…

We obtain an improved Kakeya maximal function estimate and improved Kakeya Hausdorff dimension estimate in $\mathbb{R}^4$ using a new geometric argument called the planebrush. A planebrush is a higher dimensional analogue of Wolff's…

Katz and Zahl used a planebrush argument to prove that Kakeya sets in $\mathbb{R}^4$ have Hausdorff dimension at least 3.059. In the special case when the Kakeya set is plany, their argument gives a better lower bound of 10/3. We give a…

The famous Nakayama conjecture states that the dominant dimension of a non-selfinjective finite dimensional algebra is finite. In \cite{Yam}, Yamagata stated the stronger conjecture that the dominant dimension of a non-selfinjective finite…

We study the Rouquier dimension of wrapped Fukaya categories of Liouville manifolds and pairs, and apply this invariant to various problems in algebraic and symplectic geometry. On the algebro-geometric side, we introduce a new method based…

We sharpen the constant in the $KS_2$ conjecture of Weaver \cite{We}, which was validated by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava \cite{MSS} in their solution of the Kadison--Singer problem. We then apply this result to prove optimal asymptotic…

The extended Davis-Kahan theorem makes use of polynomial matrix transformations to produce bounds at least as tight as the standard Davis-Kahan theorem. The optimization problem of finding transformation parameters resulting in optimal…
