I will first survey some recent progress on global problems related to scalar curvature and area/volume, focusing in particular on scale breaking phenomena in such problems. I will then discuss the role of the Hawking mass in the resolution of this...

An area-preserving diffeomorphism of an annulus has an "action function" which measures how the diffeomorphism distorts curves. The average value of the action function over the annulus is known as the Calabi invariant of the diffeomorphism, while...

Lattices in higher rank simple Lie groups are known to be extremely rigid. Examples of this are Margulis' superrigidity theorem, which shows they have very few linear represenations, and Margulis' arithmeticity theorem, which shows they are all...

In the early 1920s, Loewner introduced a constructive approach to the Riemann mapping theorem that realized a conformal mapping as the solution to a differential equation. Roughly, the “input” to Loewner’s differential equation is a driving measure...

We study the function field analogue of a classical problem in analytic number theory on the sums of the generalized divisor function in short intervals, in the limit as the degrees of the polynomials go to infinity. As a corollary, we calculate...
