I will discuss an approach to log-Sobolev inequalities that combines the Bakry-Emery theory with renormalisation and present several applications. These include log-Sobolev inequalities with polynomial dependence for critical Ising models...

Elliptic curves E over the rational numbers are modular: this means there is a nonconstant map from a modular curve to E. When instead the coefficients of E belong to...

Many decision and optimization problems over random structures exhibit an apparent gap between the existentially optimal values and algorithmically achievable values. Examples include the problem of finding a largest independent...

In this talk, I will discuss the behavior of positivity, hyperbolicity, and Kodaira dimension under smooth morphisms of complex quasi-projective manifolds. This includes a vast generalization of a classical result:...

We show that for any closed symplectic manifold, the number of 1-periodic orbits of any non-degenerate Hamiltonian is bounded from below by an integral version of total Betti number which...

Unlike ordinary topological quantum phases, fracton orders are intimately dependent on the underlying lattice geometry. In this work, we study a generalization of the X-cube model, on lattices embedded in...

In this talk I will explore the thermodynamic response near extremality of charged black holes in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a positive cosmological constant. The latter exhibit three different extremal...
