The Langlands program predicts a relationship between automorphic representations of a reductive group G and Galois representations valued in its L-group. For general G over a global function field, the...

Quantitative reasoning tasks which can involve mathematics, science, and programming are often challenging for machine learning models in general and for language models in particular. We show that transformer-based language...

Supersymmetric QFT's are of long-standing interest for their high degree of solvability, phenomenological implications, and rich connections to mathematics. In my talk, I will describe how the holomorphic twist isolates the protected quantities...

I will discuss my ongoing effort to comprehend, from a geometric viewpoint, the motivic monodromy conjecture for a "generic" complex multivariate polynomial f, namely any polynomial f that is non-degenerate...

Kuznetsov's Homological projective duality (HPD) in algebraic geometry is a powerful theorem that allows to extract information about semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of certain varieties. I will give a GLSMs perspective based on categories...

In this talk, we will discuss bordered aspects of the Heegaard Floer surgery formulas of Ozsvath--Szabo and Manolescu--Ozsvath. In particular, we will explain how their theories naturally define bordered invariants...
