Research

  • Analysis

  • Convex Geometry

  • High dimensional Effects

"Certain high-dimensional objects – such as a convex body, a probability density, a polynomial in many variables, or a coloring of a large graph – necessarily contain a regular sub-structure, with many approximate symmetries. Convexity, or non-negative curvature, seem to strengthen the effect."
