Chomsky hierarchy

In formal language theory, computer science and linguistics, the Chomsky hierarchy (also referred to as the Chomsky–Schützenberger hierarchy) is a containment hierarchy of classes of formal grammars. This hierarchy of grammars was described by Noam Chomsky in 1956. It is also named after Marcel-Paul Schützenberger, who played a crucial role in the development of the theory of formal languages.

José Ignacio Burgos Gil: Arithmetic intersection of Bloch higher cycles

The lecture was held within the framework of the Hausdorff Trimester Program: Periods in Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry and Physics. Abstract: We give a new definition of higher arithmetic Chow groups for smooth projective varieties defined over a number field, which is similar to Gill

Albert Einstein, Holograms and Quantum Gravity

In the latest campaign to reconcile Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, many physicists are studying how a higher dimensional space that includes gravity arises like a hologram from a lower dimensional particle theory. Read about the second episode of the new season here:
