The linkage principle says that the category of representations of a reductive group $G$ in positive characteristic decomposes into "blocks" controlled by the affine Weyl group. We will discuss the beautiful geometric proof of this result that Simon...

Over the last decades, following works around the Pila-Wilkie counting theorem in the context of o-minimality, there has been a surge in interest around functional transcendence results, in part due to their connection with special points...

The talk will focus on the question of whether existing symplectic methods can distinguish pseudo-rotations from rotations (i.e., elements of Hamiltonian circle actions). For the projective plane, in many instances, but not always, the answer is...

The movement and thermalization of turbulent energy between scales in plasmas is both fundamentally interesting and important for a wide range of modelling applications. In strongly magnetized space plasmas, energy in electromagnetic fluctuations is...

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...
