Spectral partitioning, eigenvalue bounds, and circle packings for graphs of bounded genus
In this paper, we address two longstanding questions about finding good separators in graphs of bounded genus and degree:

Using nondeterminism to amplify hardness
We revisit the problem of hardness amplification in NP, as recently studied by O'Donnell (STOC `02). We prove that if NP has a balanced function f such that any circuit of si...

The two possible values of the chromatic number of a random graph
Given d (0, ) let kd be the smallest integer k such that d < 2k log k. We prove that the chromatic number of a random graph G(n, d/n) is either kd or kd + 1 almost surely.

Hit-and-run from a corner
We show that the hit-and-run random walk mixes rapidly starting from any interior point of a convex body. This is the first random walk known to have this property. In contrast, t...
