s for Plenary Speakers André Joyal, Université du Québec à Montréal “The Witt vectors construction revisited” Abstract: Witt vectors are playing an important role in number theory and topology. Introduced by Witt in 1937, they were generalised by Cartier in 1967. But they remain mysterious objects with surprisingly many facets. We shall describe the Witt vector construction as a right adjoint t...

ii These notes are based on a course of lectures given by Professor Liebeck during Autumn Term 2007 at Imperial College London. In general the notes follow the lectures very closely and only few changes were made mostly to make the typesetting easier. These notes have not been checked by Professor Liebeck and should not be regarded as official notes for the course. In particular, all the errors...

College Admission and High School Integration ∗

We investigate whether a policy that bases college admission on relative performance can modify the degree of racial or ethnic segregation in high schools by inducing students to relocate to schools with weaker competition. Theoretically, such school arbitrage will neutralize the admissions policy at the college level. It will result in partial desegregation of the high schools if flows are suf...

College Admission Policies and the Educational Pipeline:

Several recent state government decisions banning use of race-sensitive criteria in college admission decisions pose a challenging dilemma for higher education because ethnoracial diversity of the school-age population has increased dramatically since 1960 and persisting race and ethnic inequities in high school attainment restrict the pool of students admissible to colleges and universities. I...
