Newark, New jersey. It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to promote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex.

  • How to Glue Perverse Sheaves”
    NOTES ON BEILINSON'S \HOW TO GLUE PERVERSE SHEAVES" RYAN REICH Abstract. The titular, foundational work of Beilinson not only gives a tech- nique for gluing perverse sheaves but also implicitly contains constructions of the nearby and vanishing cycles functors of perverse sheaves. These con- structions are completely elementary and show that these functors preserve perversity and respect Verdier duality on perverse sheaves. The work also de- fines a new, \maximal extension" functor, which is left mysterious aside from its role in the gluing theorem. In these notes, we present the complete details of all of these constructions and theorems. In this paper we discuss Alexander Beilinson's \How to glue perverse sheaves" [1] with three goals. The first arose from a suggestion of Dennis Gaitsgory that the author study the construction of the unipotent nearby cycles functor R un which, as Beilinson observes in his concluding remarks, is implicit in the proof of his Key Lemma 2.1. Here, we make this construction explicit, since it is invaluable in many contexts not necessarily involving gluing. The second goal is to restructure the pre- sentation around this new perspective; in particular, we have chosen to eliminate the two-sided limit formalism in favor of the straightforward setup indicated briefly in [3, x4.2] for D-modules. We also emphasize this construction as a simple demon- stration that R un[−1] and Verdier duality D commute, and de-emphasize its role in the gluing theorem. Finally, we provide complete proofs; with the exception of the Key Lemma, [1] provides a complete program of proof which is not carried out in detail, making a technical understanding of its contents more difficult given the density of ideas.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172]. For comprehensive overviews in large parts of math- ematics, [74, 165, 166, 51, 593] or predictions on developments [47]. For reflections about mathematics in general [145, 455, 45, 306, 439, 99, 561]. Encyclopedic source examples are [188, 705, 670, 102, 192, 152, 221, 191, 111, 635].
