• Random Matrix Program

    Large random matrices provide some of the simplest models for large, strongly correlated quantum systems. The statistics of the energy levels of ensembles of such systems are expected to exhibit universality, in the sense that they depend only on the symmetry class of the system. Recent advances have enabled a rigorous understanding of universality in […]

  • GAMES ON HETEROGENEOUS GRAPHS

    Harvard Science Center 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA

    A major challenge in evolutionary biology is to understand how spatial population structure affects the evolution of social behaviors such as cooperation. This question can be investigated mathematically by studying evolutionary processes on graphs. Individuals occupy vertices and interact with neighbors according to a matrix game. Births and deaths occur stochastically according to an update […]
