Some items and papers, in reverse chronological order of appearance: What's this background image?

The D⁶R⁴ interaction as a Poincare series, and a related shifted convolution sum, joint with Kim Klinger-Logan and Danylo Radchenko.

Generating cryptographically-strong random lattice bases and recognizing rotations of Zⁿ, joint with Tamar Lichter Blanks, in PQCrypto 2021. Tamar's Video presentation.
