Macroscopic properties of buyer-seller networks in online marketplaces
Abstract: Online marketplaces are the main engines of legal and illegal e-commerce, yet the aggregate properties of buyer-seller networks behind them are poorly understood. We analyse two datasets containing 245M […]

Corks for exotic diffeomorphisms
https://youtu.be/HWL5Rg9B624 Speaker: Slava Krushkal, University of Virginia Title: Corks for exotic diffeomorphisms Abstract: Exotic smooth structures on simply-connected 4-manifolds are known to be related by cork twists: cutting out and re-gluing […]
Can embedding problems be used to distinguish S^4 from other (possible) homotopy 4-spheres?
