Relative trace formulas are central tools in the study of relative functoriality. In many cases of interest, basic stability problems have not previously been addressed. In this talk, I discuss...

Semiconductor bilayer heterostructures provide a remarkable platform for simulating Hubbard models on an emergent lattice defined by moire potential minima. As a hallmark of Hubbard model physics, the Mott insulator...

Although the equations of motion that govern quantum mechanics are well-known, understanding the emergent macroscopic behavior that arises from a particular set of microscopic interactions remains remarkably challenging. One particularly...

I will outline the construction of a 2-category associated to a hyperKahler moment map. The construction is based on partial differential equations in one, two and three dimensions, combined with...

We discuss recent joint work with Kyle Binder on defining the unipotent fundamental group of tropical varieties. This fundamental group arises from the Tannakian formalism using tropical vector bundles with...

Thurston proved that a post-critically finite branched cover of the plane is either equivalent to a polynomial (that is: conjugate via a mapping class) or it has a topological obstruction. ...

The notion of topological phases has dramatically changed our understanding of insulators. There is much to learn about a band insulator beyond the assertion that it has a gap separating...

Elliptic curves are ubiquitous in number theory, algebraic geometry, complex analysis, cryptography, physics, and beyond. They were present in Diophantus' Arithmetica (3rd century AD) and, nowadays, they are more relevant...
