I don’t know how to prove Serre’s conjecture.
I find it slightly annoying that I don’t know how to prove Serre’s conjecture for imaginary quadratic fields. In particular, I don’t even see any particularly good strategy for showing that a surjective Galois representation — say finite flat with … Continue reading

Thurston, Selberg, and Random Polynomials, Part II.
What is the probability that the largest root of a polynomial is real? Naturally enough, this depends on how one models a random polynomial. If we take polynomials of degree N which are constrained to have all of their roots … Continue reading

Thurston, Selberg, and Random Polynomials, Part I.
Apart from everything else, you could always count on Bill Thurston to ask interesting questions. This is the first of a small number of posts which were motivated in part by figure two from this paper, and this accompanying MO … Continue reading
