Abstract: In the AdS/CFT correspondence, it is of great importance to understand the emergence of bulk geometry from quantum mechanical degrees of freedom on the boundary. Volumes of spatial subregions are key quantities characterizing the bulk...

Abstract: Non-invertible categorical symmetries have emerged as a powerful tool to uncover new beyond-Landau quantum phases and phase transitions. The general theory of such phases and transitions has been studied systematically primarily in (1+1)d...

This will be an expository talk on the structure and classification of equivariant vector bundles on toric varieties. I will emphasize Klyachko's classification results from the 1980s and 1990s and discuss more recent re-formulations of this...

Although there are several ways to ''choose a compact hyperbolic surface at random'', putting the Weil-Petersson probability measure on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces of a given topology is certainly the most natural. The work of M...

In this talk, I will describe a new definition, joint with Bivas Khan, for a tropical toric vector bundle on a tropical toric variety. This builds on the tropicalizations of toric vector bundles, and can be used to define tropicalizations of vector...

One of the unsolved problems in extragalactic astronomy is understanding the physics of how the most distant massive galaxies grow their stellar mass over cosmic time. Large-scale hydrodynamical simulations have been largely successful in matching...
