I will explain how various results in arithmetic statistics by Bhargava, Gross, Shankar and others on 2-Selmer groups of Jacobians of (hyper)elliptic curves can be organised and reproved using the...

Language models are showing impressive performance on many natural language tasks, including question-answering. However, language models – like most deep learning models – are black boxes. We cannot be sure...

Lévy matrices are symmetric random matrices whose entry distributions lie in the domain of attraction of an alpha-stable law; such distributions have infinite variance when alpha is less than 2....

I will present a review about recent progress in chartin non-invertible symmetries for four-dimensional quantum field theorie that have a six-dimensional origin. These include in particular N= supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories, and also a...

I will explain how to reinterpret invariant distributions on p-adic GL_n and its Lie algebra using symmetric functions. This reinterpretation, combined with some old results of Waldspurger, allows us to...

I will explain a new type of holographic dualities between n+1D topological orders with a chosen boundary condition and nD (potentially gapless) quantum liquids. It is based on the idea of topological Wick...

Jameel Al-Aidroos was a treasured colleague and a master of a myriad of things. He could simplify a mathematical idea and present a question or comment in a way that...

The small quantum connection on a Fano variety is one of the simplest objects in enumerative geometry. Nevertheless, it is the subject of far-reaching conjectures known as the Dubrovin/Gamma conjectures....

Representations of 3-manifold groups into groups such as SU(2) and SL(2,C) have been actively studied for decades. Many topological invariants are defined by considering these representations, such as the Casson...
