Some chemical and biological models use a system of delay differential equations (DDEs) instead of the usual ODEs, with the assumption of instantaneous consumption but delayed production. Stability of DDEs...

In the first part of my talk, I will introduce the P=W conjecture by de Cataldo, Hausel, and Migliorini (2010), predicting that the perverse filtration associated with the Hitchin system...

I will introduce simple "tensorial" definitions for many algebraic and categorical structures appearing in the classification of topological phases of matter. Such "tensorial TQFTs" will be defined as maps that...

Motivated by the existence of membrane-less compartments in the chemically active environment of living cells, I will discuss the dynamics of droplets in the presence of active chemical reactions. Therefore,...

Tsen's Theorem gives a simple sufficient criterion for an algebraic variety to have a point over a complex function field. In the talk we shall discuss a way to define...

Positive scalar potentials in string effective theories could provide an origin to Dark Energy, responsible for the accelerated expansion of our universe today or during inflation. It is thus crucial...

For a Legendrian knot $K$ in a closed contact 3-manifold, we describe a necessary and sufficient condition for contact $n$-surgery along $K$ to yield a weakly symplectically fillable contact manifold,...
