On the geometry and topology of initial data sets in General Relativity
CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: Greg Galloway (University of Miami) Title: On the geometry and topology of initial data sets in General Relativity Abstract: A theme of long standing interest (to the speaker!) concerns the relationship between the topology of spacetime and the occurrence of singularities (causal geodesic incompleteness). Many results concerning this center around the notion of topological censorship, which […]

Quality Externalities on Platforms: The Case of Airbnb
CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: Sonia Jaffe (Microsoft) Title: Quality Externalities on Platforms: The Case of Airbnb Abstract: We explore quality externalities on platforms: when buyers have limited information, a seller's quality affects whether her buyers return to the platform, thereby impacting other sellers' future business. We propose an intuitive measure of this externality, applicable across a range of platforms. Guest Return […]
