Lorentzian polynomials serve as a bridge between continuous and discrete convex analysis, with tropical geometry providing the critical link. The tropical connection is used to produce Lorentzian polynomials from discrete convex functions, leading...

In this talk, I'll show that the most natural low-degree test for polynomials over finite fields is ``robust'' in the high-error regime for linear-sized fields. This settles a long-standing open question in the area of low-degree testing, yielding...

In this talk, I will describe a new definition, joint with Bivas Khan, for a tropical toric vector bundle on a tropical toric variety. This builds on the tropicalizations of toric vector bundles, and can be used to define tropicalizations of vector...

Although there are several ways to ''choose a compact hyperbolic surface at random'', putting the Weil-Petersson probability measure on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces of a given topology is certainly the most natural. The work of M...

This will be an expository talk on the structure and classification of equivariant vector bundles on toric varieties. I will emphasize Klyachko's classification results from the 1980s and 1990s and discuss more recent re-formulations of this...
