Ben Bakker explained to us how to construct moduli spaces of polarized Hodge structures, and then produced period maps associated to families of smooth projective varieties. However, in practice one often encounters a family of smooth varieties...

In this talk I will describe new results establishing the existence of a strong spectral gap for  geometrically finite, n dimensional, hyperbolic manifold with critical exponent greater than $(n-1)/2$. This settles a conjecture of Mohammadi and Oh...

Last week we defined the Linial--Meshulam model for random 2 dimensional simplicial complexes and discussed two notions of connectivity for it: Vanishing of its 1st cohomology with F2 coefficients, and vanishing of its fundamental group. This time...

In this talk, I will describe a variant of the category of derived rings that we call the category of synthetic $E_{\infty}$-rings. The category of derived rings may be viewed as the derived category of the category of discrete commutative rings...

Machine learning is transforming mathematical discovery, enabling advances on longstanding open problems. In this talk, I will discuss AlphaEvolve, a general-purpose evolutionary coding agent that uses large language models to autonomously discover...

In this talk, I will explore the fascinating landscape of assumptions in quantum cryptography—especially, how little we need to assume to build secure quantum protocols. We will cover key cryptographic primitives including quantum encryption...

Remarkable martensitic microstructures are observed in the alloy  $Ti_{76}Nb_{22}Al_{2}$ , which undergoes a cubic to orthorhombic transformation with six martensitic variants $\mathbf U_i=\mathbf U_i^T>0$ having middle eigenvalue $\lambda_2(\mathbf...
