In the last talk of this series, we discuss the microlocal criterion for regular singularities of a D-module, and the existence of special filtrations on regular holonomic microdifferential modules. This allows us to define a D-module-theoretic...

Some of the central questions in complexity theory address the amortized complexity of computation (also sometimes known as direct sum problems). While these questions appear in many contexts, they are all variants of the following: 

Is the best...

String topology, as introduced by Chas and Sullivan 20 years ago, is a product structure on the free loop space of a manifold that lifts the classical intersection product from the manifold to its loop space. I’ll explain how both a product and a...

What edge density of a graph guarantees that that it will contain a particular subgraph? Or one of a given family $\mathcal{F}$ of subgraphs? The celebrated Erdős--Stone--Simonovits Theorem characterizes the maximum edge density in $\mathcal{F}$...

We are surrounded by functional networks, from fluid transport in plants and animals to macroscopic elastic scaffoldings and microscopic crystals and materials, and engineered power grids. Often, such networks can be seen as optimized for their...
