Abstract: There is a longstanding dream of realizing large-N Yang-Mills theory in D = 3,4 as a theory of confining strings. So far, our knowledge of this putative string is restricted to low energies, where one can use an effective field theory...

A few years ago, I was introduced to a surprising result of Payan stating that certain highly symmetric "cube-like" graphs cannot have chromatic number exactly $3$. (Specifically, his result applies to graphs on vertex set $(\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z})...

The Chebotarev density theorem is a powerful tool in number theory, in part because it guarantees the existence of primes whose Frobenius lies in a given conjugacy class in a fixed Galois extension of number fields.  However, for some applications...

Abstract: Projection theory asks how the size of a set in $R^n$—often measured by Hausdorff...
