I will survey the coherent-constructible correspondence of Bondal, which embeds the derived category of coherent sheaves on a toric variety into the derived category of constructible sheaves on a compact torus. The tools of the first lecture turn...

I will give an introduction to the microlocal theory of sheaves after Kashiwara and Schapira, and some of its recent applications in symplectic topology. I'll start with the basics, but target applications for the 75 minutes are Tamarkin's proof of...

This will be a bit of a "grab bag" talk where I discuss some results and open questions in combinatorial geometry which are either approachable by the polynomial method or which I hope are approachable by the polynomial method! I will talk about...

The "cap set problem" asks for the size of the largest subset $S$ of the vector space $\mathbb F_3^n$ containing no three elements summing to 0. Progress on this problem was slow for many years, until the spring of 2016, when a very short argument...

I'll begin with a leisurely introduction to Fukaya A-infinity algebras and their bounding chains. Then I'll explain how to use bounding chains to define open Gromov-Witten invariants. The bounding chain invariants can be computed using an open...
