This event has been cancelled for today, April 29, 2022. I will talk about joint work with Andrew Lobb related to Toeplitz's square peg problem, which asks whether every (continuous)...

Let X be a compact hyperbolic surface. We can see that there is a constant C(X) such that the intersection number of the closed geodesics is \leq C(X) times the...

We will overview the program of geometrically engineering four dimensional supersymmetric QFTs as compactifications of six dimensional SCFTs. In particular we will discuss how strong coupling phenomena in four dimensions,...

Active matter describes out-of-equilibrium materials composed of motile building blocks that convert free energy into mechanical work. The continuous input of energy at the particle scale liberates these systems from...

Suppose we transmit n bits on a noisy channel that deletes some fraction of the bits arbitrarily. What's the supremum p* of deletion fractions that can be corrected with a binary...

In recent years, ideas from integrable systems and scattering amplitudes have led to advances in nonlinear algebra and combinatorics. In this short workshop, aimed at younger participants in the field,...

The ghost conjecture predicts slopes of modular forms whose residual representation is locally reducible. In this talk, we'll examine locally irreducible representations and discuss recent progress on formulating a conjecture in this case. ...

In 'Mirror symmetry for log Calabi--Yau surfaces I', given a smooth log Calabi--Yau surface pair (Y,D), Gross--Hacking--Keel constructed its mirror family as the spectrum of an explicit algebra whose structure...
