Kronheimer and Mrowka recently used monopole Floer homology to define an invariant of sutured manifolds, following work of Juhász in Heegaard Floer homology. In this talk, I will construct an invariant of a contact structure on a 3-manifold with...

How many arithmetic operations does it take to multiply two square matrices? This question has captured the imagination of computer scientists ever since Strassen showed in 1969 that \(O(n^{2.81})\) operations suffice. We survey the classical theory...

We discuss various Gaussian ensembles for real homogeneous polynomials in several variables and the question of the distribution of the topologies of the connected components of the zero sets of a typical such random real hypersurface. For the "real...

The celebrated Green-Tao theorem states that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in the primes. In this talk, I will explain the ideas of the proof and discuss our recent simplifications. One of the main ingredients in the proof is a...

I will review some aspects of many-body Anderson localization. Many-body localized systems have a type of integrable Hamiltonian, with an extensive set of operators that are localized in real-space that each commute with the Hamiltonian. The...
