Suppose you have a set S of integers from {1 , 2 , … , N} that contains at least N / C elements. Then for large enough N , must S contain three equally spaced numbers (i.e., a 3-term arithmetic progression)?

In 1953, Roth showed that this is indeed...

Embedded contact homology (ECH) is a diffeomorphism invariant of three-manifolds due to Hutchings, defined using a contact form. This very diffeomorphism invariance makes it quite useful when studying contact dynamics, because it is possible to apply...

The rigorous study of spin systems such as the Ising model is currently one of the most active research areas in probability theory. In this talk, I will introduce one particular class of such models, known as lattice gauge theories (LGTs), and go...

Extremal combinatorics is a central research area in discrete mathematics. The field can be traced back to the work of Turán and it was established by Erdős through his fundamental contributions and his uncounted guiding questions. Since then it has...

Through the random matrix analogy, Fyodorov, Hiary and Keating conjectured very precisely the typical values of the Riemann zeta function in short intervals of the critical line, in particular their maximum. Their prediction relied on techniques from...

In Euclidean geometry, bisectors are perpendicular lines. In random plane geometry, the situation is more complicated. I will describe bisectors in the directed landscape, the universal geometry in the KPZ class. These help answer some open questions...

For a compact subset K of a closed symplectic manifold, Entov-Polterovich introduced the notion of (super)heaviness, which reveals surprising symplectic rigidity. When K

is a Lagrangian submanifold, there is a well-established criterion for its...

The Mackey-Zimmer representation theorem is a key structural result from ergodic theory: Every compact extension between ergodic measure-preserving systems can be written as a skew-product by a homogeneous space of a compact group. This is used, e.g...

Let X be a smooth projective variety over the field of complex numbers. The classical Riemann-Hilbert correspondence supplies a fully faithful embedding from the category of perverse sheaves on X to the category of algebraic D_X-modules. In this talk...
