I will describe recent work in progress on logarithmic--exponential preparation theorems in analytically generated sharply o-minimal structures. Our results imply the sharp o-minimality of $\mathbb{R}_{\exp}$ as well as a uniform version of Wilkie’s...

I'll focus specifically on point counting results in o-minimal structures. I'll start with the classical theorem of Pila and Wilkie and move on to improved versions that only hold in the "sharp" variant of o-minimality.

Globally valued fields form a generalisation of global fields that fits into the context of first order (continuous) logic. I will describe these structures, and outline how they are connected to various parts of arithmetic geometry: Arakelov...

I'll introduce o-minimality from a user's perspective assuming zero background. I'll talk about some of the main examples of o-minimal structures: as a user of o-minimality your first goal is to find out whether your favorite set lives in one of...

I will present a (cohomological) Fourier-Mukai transform for tropical Abelian varieties and give some applications, including a (generalized) Poincaré formula (for non-degenerate line bundles on tropical Abelian varieties).

Based on joint work with...

In their recent paper, Giansiracusa and Manaker introduced a notion of tropical subrepresentations of linear representations by considering linear actions on tropical linear spaces. In particular, this framework naturally brings matroids into the...

The Khovanskii-Teissier inequality provides the fundamental log-concavity property of intersection numbers of divisors of algebraic varieties, extending the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality of convex geometry. In this talk I will explain, and attempt...

For a complex elliptic curve $E$ and a point $p$ of order $n$ on it, the images of the points $p_k=kp$ under the Weierstrass embedding of $E$ into $CP^2$ are collinear if and only if the sum of indices is divisible by $n$. We prove that for $n$ at...

The long-standing F-Conjecture asserts that there is a very simple description for the closed cone of effective curves on the moduli space M_{g,n}\bar of stable n-pointed curves of genus g as being determined by a finite collection of so-called F...

I will discuss various applications of a combinatorial model for the (torus equivariant) quantum K-theory of flag manifolds G/B, called the quantum alcove model. This is a uniform model for all Lie types, based on Weyl group combinatorics. It first...
