In 1971, Martin Gardner proposed a deceptively simple problem about 'kissing cubes' in his Mathematical Games column in the Scientific American, and more than three decades later it is still unsolved. In this talk I will introduce the problem, the...

With every bounded prism Bhatt and Scholze associated a cohomology theory of formal p-adic schemes. The prismatic cohomology comes equipped with the Nygaard filtration and the Frobenius endomorphism. The Bhatt-Scholze construction has been advanced...

Random restrictions are a powerful tool used to study the complexity of boolean functions. Various classes of boolean circuits are known to simplify under random restrictions. A prime example of this, discovered by Subbotovskaya more than 60 years...

Let K be a finite extension of Qp. The Emerton-Gee stack for GL2 is a stack of etale (phi, Gamma)-modules of rank two. Its reduced part, X, is an algebraic stack of finite type over a finite field, and can be viewed as a moduli stack of two...

Let $p$ be a prime number. Roughly speaking, rigid analytic geometry is a counterpart of complex analysis where one replaces the field $\mathbf{C}$ of complex numbers by the field $\mathbf{Q}_{p}$ of $p$-adic rational numbers (or some extension...

In this talk, I will present the following two connections between private optimization and statistical physics, both via the problem of approximating a given covariance matrix with a low-rank matrix:

1. An efficient algorithm to privately compute a...

Steven will cover the material from the first two lectures by Peter Scholze (available electronically at http://people.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/scholze/Condensed.pdf). In particular, he will introduce the notion of condensed set and condensed abelian group...

Combinatorial discrepancy asks the following question: Given a ground set U and a collection S of subsets of U, how do we color each element in U red or blue so that each subset in S has almost an equal number of each color? A straightforward idea...

In this talk we present explicit bounds for the Weil height and the number of integral points on classical surfaces first studied by Clebsch (1871) and Klein (1873). Building on Hirzebruch's work in which he related these surfaces to a Hilbert...
