In the upcoming series of talks we discuss some equivalences by Bezrukavnikov between categories of coherent sheaves on Steinberg varieties and of perverse sheaves on the affine flag variety. In this talk I discuss the decategorified isomorphism...

A recent result of Becker, Lubotzky and Thom characterizes, for amenable groups, permutation stability in terms of co-soficity of invariant random subgroups (IRS). We will explain that for a class of amenable groups acting on rooted trees, including...

A polynomial with nonnegative coefficients is strongly log-concave if it and all of its derivatives are log-concave as functions on the positive orthant. This rich class of polynomials includes many interesting examples, such as homogeneous real...

A symmetry is usually described by transformations and an associated group. However, a symmetry can also be described by the conservation of charges, encoded by their fusion rule. This leads to a description of symmetry based on fusion category...

Our study is motivated by earlier results about nodal count of Laplacian eigenfunctions on manifolds and graphs that share the same flavor: a normalized nodal count is equal to the Morse index of a certain energy functional at the critical point...

Establishing inequalities among graph densities is a central pursuit in extremal graph theory. One way to certify the nonnegativity of a graph density expression is to write it as a sum of squares or as a rational sum of squares. In this talk, we...

We will discuss a geometric re-interpretation of N=1 SQCD with special unitary gauge groups. We will argue that the 4d SU(M) SQCD in the middle of the conformal window can be engineered by compactifying certain 6d SCFTs on three punctured spheres. ...

Is every dynamically convex contact form on the three sphere convex? In this talk I will explain why the answer to this question is no. The strategy is to derive a lower bound on the Ruelle invariant of convex contact forms and construct dynamically...

In this talk I will present my work initiating the study of the C0C0 symplectic mapping class group, i.e. the group of isotopy classes of symplectic homeomorphisms, and briefly present the proofs of the first results regarding the topology of the...
