Title: Profinite descent for Picard spaces and groups in K(n)-local chromatic homotopy theory Abstract: The study of Picard groups in homotopy theory was initiated by Hopkins-Mahowald-Sadofsky. They gave a general framework […]

Title: Number-theoretic methods to produce counterexamples for questions motivated by PDE’s.Abstract: In 1980 Carleson posed a question in PDE’s: how “well-behaved” must an initial data function be, to guarantee pointwise convergence […]

Title: Automorphic Galois representations for classical groupsAbstract: It is a theorem due to many people, most recently by Harris-Lan-Taylor-Thorne and Scholze, that there exist Galois representations associated with regular cuspidal automorphic […]

Title: Categorical diagonalization.Abstract: We give an introduction to the circle of ideas known as categorification, guided by the following question: what might it mean to diagonalize a functor?Given a category, one […]
