The Mackey-Zimmer representation theorem is a key structural result from ergodic theory: Every compact extension between ergodic measure-preserving systems can be written as a skew-product by a homogeneous space of a compact group. This is used, e.g...

Let X be a smooth projective variety over the field of complex numbers. The classical Riemann-Hilbert correspondence supplies a fully faithful embedding from the category of perverse sheaves on X to the category of algebraic D_X-modules. In this...

Define the Collatz map Col on the natural numbers by setting Col(n) to equal 3n+1 when n is odd and n/2 when n is even. The notorious Collatz conjecture asserts that all orbits of this map eventually attain the value 1. This remains open, even if...

A central goal of physics is to understand the low-energy solutions of quantum interactions between particles. This talk will focus on the complexity of describing low-energy solutions; I will show that we can construct quantum systems for which the...

We will discuss a version of the Green--Tao arithmetic regularity lemma and counting lemma which works in the generality of all linear forms. In this talk we will focus on the qualitative and algebraic aspects of the result.

Liouville conformal field theory is a CFT with central charge c>25 and continuous spectrum, its correlation functions on Riemann surfaces with marked points can be expressed using the bootstrap method in terms of conformal blocks. We will explain...

I will talk about a program aimed at exploiting randomness of certain "graphs of symbols" in determining the precise structure of the pro-nilpotent Galois groups of number fields, and how this has been successfully implemented in nilpotency class 2...
