Gamow introduced the liquid drop model in 1928 as a model for the nucleus. I will discuss some recent work (with Ian Ruohoniemi) concerning roundness of minimizers. 

Local Langlands correspondence (LLC) is a conjectural finite-to-one map from representations of a p-adic reductive group G to the set of L-parameters for G. Recently there have been two major advances in this area: Kaletha's characterization of the...

Extremal black holes are special solutions of Einstein’s equations which have absolute zero temperature in the thermodynamic analogy of black hole mechanics. In this talk, I will present a proof that extremal black holes arise on the critical...

Abstract: The foundation of a matroid is an algebraic invariant that controls representations over any partial field, hyperfield, or more generally, any pasture. We show that, under certain conditions, the foundation of a generalized parallel...

Abstract: After a gentle introduction to matroids, I will present parts of a new OSCAR software module for matroids through several examples. I will focus on computing the moduli space of a matroid which is the space of all arrangements of...

Computational problems exhibit a diverse range of behaviors in terms of how quickly and effectively they can be solved.  What underlying mathematical structure (or lack thereof) in a computational problem leads to an efficient algorithm for solving...

This event brought together leading researchers in different areas of combinatorial geometry. This workshop was a part of the special...

Abstract: A toric vector bundle is a torus equivariant vector bundle on a toric variety.

We begin by recalling the classification of toric vector bundles due to Klyachko. The Klyachko data of a toric vector bundle can be interpreted as a "piecewise...

In the early 2000's, Bertolini and Darmon introduced a new technique to bound Selmer groups of elliptic curves via level raising congruences. This was the first example of what is now termed a "bipartite Euler system", and over the last decade we...
