In this talk, I shall present a unifying approach to study the replica-symmetric regime of general dilute spin glasses. In particular, we identify two regimes - high temperature and subcritical dilution - where we observe a large class of popular...

Powers of Vandermonde determinants serve as model wave functions for the fractional quantum Hall effect. In this talk I will explain how one can realize the coefficients in the monomial basis as expectation values of operator products and how this...

Cubic fourfolds have been classically studied up to birational equivalence, with a view toward the rationality problem. The Fano variety of lines F(X) on a cubic fourfold X is a hyperkähler manifold, and the rationality of X is conjecturally captured...

I will discuss several recent results on the Turán density of long cycle-like hypergraphs. These results (due to Kamčev–Letzter–Pokrovskiy, Balogh–Luo, and myself) all follow a similar framework, and I will outline a general strategy to prove Turán...

We consider a region in the complex plane enclosed by a deltoid curve inscribed in the unit circle, and define a family of polynomials that satisfy the same recurrence relation as the Faber polynomials for this region. We use this family of...

Much of the recent rigorous progress on the classical Ising model was driven by new detailed understanding of its stochastic geometric representations. Motivated by the problem of establishing exponential decay of truncated correlations of the...
