  • The threshold for stacked triangulations

    Hybrid

    Abstract: Consider a bootstrap percolation process that starts with a set of `infected’ triangles $Y \subseteq \binom{}3$, and a new triangle f gets infected if there is a copy of […]

  • Cosmology from the vacuum

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMbWPWeuJOQ&list=PL0NRmB0fnLJQAnYwkpt9PN2PBKx4rvdup&index=12 Abstract: We are familiar with the idea that quantum gravity in AdS can holographically emerge from complex patterns of entanglement, but can the physics of big bang cosmology emerge from a quantum […]

  • Oblique Lessons from the W Mass Measurement at CDF II

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnWI9sCfAi0&list=PL0NRmB0fnLJQAnYwkpt9PN2PBKx4rvdup&index=11&t=2s Abstract: The CDF collaboration recently reported a new precise measurement of the W boson mass MW with a central value significantly larger than the SM prediction. We explore the effects […]

  • Geometric Models for Sets of Probability Measures

    Abstract: Many statistical and computational tasks boil down to comparing probability measures expressed as density functions, clouds of data points, or generative models.  In this setting, we often are unable to […]
