15th September 2015

We are launching a brand new arXiv overlay journal calledDiscrete Analysis, which is an open-access mathematical journal with an emphasis on areas of mathematics that are broadly related to additive combinatorics, including harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, topological dynamics, growth in groups, analytic number theory, combinatorial number theory, extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, combinatorial geometry, convexity, metric geometry, and parts of theoretical computer science. WhileDiscrete Analysis has a conventional editorial board and refereeing process, it does not host the articles it accepts and instead simply links to preprints that are posted on the arXiv. For a more comprehensive explanation of what the journal is trying to achieve, see Tim Gowers'sblog post. The journal is now soliciting submissions and hopes to publish its first issue in early 2016.

1st September 2015

Those interested in participating are asked to register on the workshop webpage as soon as possible. My co-organiserLuca Trevisan and I are very excited about how the programme is shaping up!

30th August 2013

As of this weekend I am officially back in the UK, as aHeilbronnreader in combinatorics and number theory at the University of Bristol. My French and Cambridge email accounts remain operational, but I should prefer it if you used my new Bristol account for work-related purposes.

11th May 2013

Together withEmmanuel Breuillard,Ben Green,Jozsef Solymosi andTerence Tao, I am organising one of the workshops during IPAM's semester-long programme 'Algebraic techniques for combinatorial and computational geometry'. The workshop's topic is 'Finding algebraic structures in extremal combinatorial configurations', and it will be held in Los Angeles from 19th to 23rd May 2014.

For details see theworkshop website.

3rd December 2012

At 2pm I'll be defending my habilitation thesis at the University Paris-Sud (Orsay), room 113-115 in building 425. The committee consists of Emmanuel Breuillard, Etienne Fouvry, Ben Green, Harald Helfgott, Bernard Host and Alain Plagne, and the thesis itself is available from my publications page.

25th October 2012

On thearXiv this week is joint work withEli Ben-Sasson,Noga Ron-Zewi andMadhur Tulsiani. We give a new sampling-based and L^p norm-free proof of Croot and Sisask's almost-periodicity lemma. As an application we prove an algorithmic version of Sanders's quasipolynomial Boglyubov lemma. This allows us to improve the running time of our previous "quadratic Goldreich-Levin algorithm" (joint work with Madhur Tulsiani from last year), which computes the large quadratic Fourier coefficients of a function with high probability.

17th October 2012

As of this evening a new preprint on an extension of the Tao-Ziegler theorem on polynomial progressions in the primes will be available on thearXiv. Together withThái Hoàng Lê, we prove that any subset of the primes of relative positive density contains a polynomial configuration x+P_1(p-1), . . ., x+P_k(p-1), where x is an integer, p is a prime and P_1, . . . , P_k are polynomials with integer coefficients and zero constant term.

Also, if you are a regular visitor you will have noticed that the website has had a facelift, having stuck with the same design for almost a decade. While some of the pages have been updated, the content hasn't changed much, and I hope you'll find everything in its usual place.

10th June 2012

In order to take full advantage of all those excellent mathematicians who will be visiting Paris at the start of July on the occasion of the conferenceAdditive Combinatorics in Paris 2012,Bernadette Charron-Bost and I are organizing a one-day colloquium on discrete mathematics and computer science. The event will take place at Ecole polytechnique on July 4th, and speakers include Noga Alon, Prasad Tetali and Jacob Fox. More information is available fromthis page.

We have an amazing list of keynote speakers lined up, and hope that many of you will be able to participate. An official announcement will be sent out a few weeks from now. For more information, including a registration form, please visit ourwebsite.

24th May 2011

Madhur Tulsiani and I have uploaded our paper "Quadratic Goldreich-Levin Theorems" to thearXiv. We give an algorithmic version of the U^3 inverse theorem and various refinements thereof, allowing us to compute for the fist time the large "quadratic Fourier coefficients" of a given bounded function. For an extended abstract and further links see mypreprints page.

24th November 2010

From personal experience I know that the French academic system can seem rather intransparent and impenetrable from the outside. I have therefore listed some opportunities for young mathematicians to spend some time in France to pursue their research interests on thisnew page.

28th July 2010

As of the start of the academic year, I will be a Hadamard Associate Professor atEcole Polytechnique in Paris. As a result this website will probably soon experience a linguistic transformation.
I intend to return to the US periodically in the near future. If you are interested in my travel schedule you can take an educated guess on the basis of mytalk and conference announcements, or simply email me.

10th February 2010

Three new joint papers with Tim Gowers have found their way onto the arXiv today. We give a strong quadratic decomposition theorem in both vector spaces over finite fields (arXiv:1002.2209) and the cyclic group modulo a prime (arXiv:1002.2210), as well as a general regularity-type decomposition into polynomial phases in the former setting (arXiv:1002.2208). As a consequence we are able to prove the general case of an earlier conjecture of ours regarding the true complexity of a system of linear forms. For more details please seePapers and Preprints.

8th January 2010

I'll be teaching a graduate course entitled592: Topics in Probability and Ergodic Theory this semester, with emphasis on arithmetic structures in subsets of the integers and the primes.

The course is suitable for any graduate student with an interest in number theory, harmonic analysis or combinatorics. We shall explore various approaches to establishing the existence of arithmetic structure in arbitrary subsets of the integers and the primes. These approaches include purely combinatorial methods, analytic techniques as well as a thorough discussion from a dynamical systems point of view.

A preliminary list of topics is available from thecourse webpage, which will be expanded in due course.

2nd November 2009

On Thursday, November 5 I'll be giving a lecture in the series 'Mathematical Careers and Ideas' for undergraduates at Rutgers. My title will beCalculus against the swine flu: modelling the spread of infectious disease. Epidemiology is certainly not my speciality, but it doesn't take much calculus to draw some interesting and sometimes counterintuitive conclusions about the spread of influenza (and similar diseases). There is free pizza after the talk! Please click on the link above for further details.

1st July 2009

My teaching pages have been updated. In particular, there is a new section entitledStudent Resources, which contains what I believe to be useful links and information for mathematically inclined students at Rutgers and elsewhere.
