BIOOCEANOLOGIST AND PHOTO ARTIST MIKHAIL VLADIMIROVICH FLINT IS 70!

Mikhail Ershov And

We establish a new spectral criterion for Kazhdan's property (T) which is applicable to a large class of discrete groups defined by generators and relations. As the main application, we prove property (T) for the groups ELn(R), where n ≥ 3 and R is an arbitrary finitely generated associative ring. We also strengthen some of the results on property (T) for Kac-Moody groups from [DJ].

NTL vs FLINT

All tests were carried out on a very lightly loaded machine with a 64-bit Intel “Haswell” CPU (Intel Xeon CPU E5-2698 v3 at 2.30GHz) with plenty of memory (over 250GB). The operating system was Cent OS. The compiler was gcc v4.8.5. We compared NTL v9.9.1 with FLINT v2.5.2. These were both built using GMP v6.1.0. All of these were the most recent releases of these packages at the time we carried...

The “Jeopardy” series of paintings he executed in the years 1999–2000 have meticulously crafted coloured surfaces built up of many layers of pigment. Terada’s paintings are often referred to as “monochromes,” as if they were sin...
