Recent Thoughts on Abelian Points

While at MSRI in early 2006, I got asked a very interesting question by Dimitar Jetchev, a Berkeley grad student. It motivated me to study abelian points on algebraic curves (and, to a lesser extent, higher-dimensional algebraic varieties), and MSRI’s special program on Rational and Integral Points was a convenient setting for this. It did not take me long to find families of curves without abe...

Acute Kidney Injury-Recent Thoughts in Diagnosis and Management

More recently, the acute kidney injury network (AKIN), an international network of AKI researchers, organized a summit of nephrology and critical care societies from around the world, endorsed the RIFLE criteria. With a small changes in Serum Creatinine (0.3mg/d or ≥26.5 μmol/l) when they occur within 48 hours period. Two recent studies in USA and Europe validated these modified criteria. Thaka...

Quantum Complexity: Some Recent Results, Some Open Problems, Some Thoughts

This talk will discuss some recent results on the complexity theory of quantum computing. The long term goal is to understand exactly the relationship between the new quantum complexity classes and the classic ones. It is assumed that you are not an expert in: quantum flavordynamics, quantum geometrodynamics, quantum hydrodynamics, quantum magnetodynamics, quantum triviality, Schrödinger’s equa...
