The rigorous study of spin systems such as the Ising model is currently one of the most active research areas in probability theory. In this talk, I will introduce one particular class of such models, known as lattice gauge theories (LGTs), and go...

Extremal combinatorics is a central research area in discrete mathematics. The field can be traced back to the work of Turán and it was established by Erdős through his fundamental contributions and his uncounted guiding questions. Since then it has...

Suppose you have a set S of integers from {1 , 2 , … , N} that contains at least N / C elements. Then for large enough N , must S contain three equally spaced numbers (i.e., a 3-term arithmetic progression)?

In 1953, Roth showed that this is indeed...

Through the random matrix analogy, Fyodorov, Hiary and Keating conjectured very precisely the typical values of the Riemann zeta function in short intervals of the critical line, in particular their maximum. Their prediction relied on techniques...

In Euclidean geometry, bisectors are perpendicular lines. In random plane geometry, the situation is more complicated. I will describe bisectors in the directed landscape, the universal geometry in the KPZ class. These help answer some open...

In this talk, we will discuss the existence problem of extremal metrics on a Kähler manifold. The best known examples of these are Kähler-Einstein and constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metrics. Yau's resolution of the Calabi conjecture proves...
