Asgar Jamneshan, Or Shalom and I have uploaded to the arXiv our paper “ Polynomial towers and inverse Gowers theory for bounded-exponent groups“. This continues our investigation into the ergodic-theory approach to the inverse theory of Gowers norms over finite …
An ancient tomb discovered in Turkey may have been made for a member of the family of the legendary King Midas, who lived in the eighth century B.C. and is renowned for his mythical “golden touch.” The possibly royal tomb, …
Michele Bartuccelli visited the University of Rome III yesterday (Wednesday 3 December) and gave a talk in the Seminario di Fisica Matematica (seminar webpage here). The title of his talk was “On the crest factor for solutions of PDEs and …
It’s one thing to make it to the end of a course — it’s another to know what skills you’ve actually gained from it. Whether you’re switching careers, leveling up in your current role, or just trying to stay sharp, …

The majority of earthquakes around the world can be found along continental plate boundaries, either due to divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is generated, or at convergent plate boundaries where collisions and subduction can occur. Earthquakes can also …
In this video, I’ll walk you through my best practices for crafting standout visual designs in Adobe Captivate, so your eLearning projects don’t look like everyone else’s. I’ll share where I find design inspiration, how I use “card” layouts like …
The University of California, Berkeley, a world leader in theoretical physics since J. Robert Oppenheimer planted the seed nearly 100 years ago, will share with four other institutions the largest gift ever to the field — $90 million. The gift …
Picture a boulder eight football fields wide, tumbling through the void between Mars and Jupiter. Now imagine it completing a full rotation every 112 seconds. By everything astronomers thought they knew about asteroids, this thing should have ripped itself apart …
