VC-Dimension of Hyperplanes over Finite Fields
Let be the -dimensional vector space over the finite
field with elements. For a subset and a fixed
nonzero , let , where
is the indicator function of the set . Two of the
authors, with Maxwell Sun, showed in the case that if and is sufficiently large, then the VC-dimension of
is 3. In this paper, we generalize the result to arbitrary
dimension and improve the exponent in the case .Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur
Inside-Out Corporate Governance
Until late in the twentieth century, internal corporate governanceâthat is, decision making by the principal constituencies of the firmâwas clearly distinct from outside oversight by regulators, auditors and credit rating agencies, and markets. With the 1980s takeover wave and hedge fundsâ and equity fundsâ more recent involvement in corporate governance, the distinction between inside and outside governance has eroded. The tools of inside governance are now routinely employed by governance outsiders, intertwining the two traditional modes of governance. We argue in this Article that the shift has created a new governance paradigm, which we call inside-out corporate governance.
Using the inside-out model as our lens, and drawing on comparisons to Italian and E.U. governance, we explore three areas of corporate governance that have been pervasively restructured by the Dodd-Frank Act and subsequent regulation: proxy access, credit rating agencies, and derivatives. We begin, in Part I, with proxy access, arguing that the new scheme for minority shareholder access excludes the very outsiders it ostensibly integrates into corporate governance. In Part II, which focuses on auditing and credit rating agencies, we argue that the inside-out relationshipâin which the corporation itself chooses its gatekeeperâis deeply problematic but cannot be âcured.â The most realistic strategy is to create more flexibility in the audit relationship, and diminish the importance of credit ratings. Part III analyzes the new derivatives regulation. Here, we argue that Congressâs effort to sharply separate the inside and outside uses of derivatives is incoherent from a corporate governance perspective. We conclude by briefly speculating about the future implications of inside-out governance

Body Talk
The primary focus of this research is to enrich my perspective as a playwright by gathering data on the topic of body-shame. Dr. Mello and I are conducting interviews with people of varying genders, ages, and walks of life in order to discover how each person experiences body-shame and body-ease. I will write a draft of a play which will prove to be richer and more truthful with the aid of this new data. That will then be workshopped and performed with a company in Helsinki, a city with a lasting tradition of theater that strongly impacts public discourse
