I will try to give a high-level overview of Clausen-Scholze’s theory of light condensed mathematics with a view toward its structure in the solid setting. In the end, the resulting setup of solid analytic stacks provides a uniform framework for...

Abstract: The geometric Tevelev degrees of projective space enumerate general, pointed curves with fixed complex structure interpolating through the maximal number of points in $\mathbb{P}^r$. The study of the corresponding virtual invariants goes...

Wave turbulence theory is a rich and expansive field, aiming to provide a framework for understanding how waves interact across different settings. Wave interactions occur over a wide range of scales and media—spanning from gravitational waves in the...

In this talk, we will explore cohomology operations on K-theory, called the Adams operations, that arise from exterior power constructions. We will discuss some of their properties and see how Adams and Atiyah used them to give a simple solution to...

We will talk about the ideal $J$ generated by antisymmetric polynomials in two sets of variables and its powers, and discuss how these Haiman ideals are connected to link homology, geometry, and other combinatorial objects of interest. We will then...

The centroid is a fundamental notion of center: it represents the center of mass in mechanics, the mean in probability and statistics, and a basic descriptor in data analysis and imaging. This talk asks what happens to the centroid when a high...

Equivariant operads provide a powerful framework for encoding homotopic algebraic structures hidden in the non-equivariant setting, specifically those incorporating norm and transfer maps. These structures are organized by combinatorial objects...

Join us as we survey five years of progress on the distribution of mass in high-dimensional convex bodies and probability distributions. This talk explores how convexity assumptions provide a powerful alternative source of regularity in high...

In this metamathematical talk I shall argue that we genuinely belong under one roof: that no matter how we self-identify, in an important sense we all do the same thing. Recent developments have made the question "what is it that we do?" even more...

An association scheme X on a finite set V is a highly-regular partition of the edge set of the complete graph on V. The Terwilliger algebra $T_v$ of X with respect to a vertex $v\in V$ is an algebra defined using the neighbours of v in each graph in...
