Krieger 413Title: Pyknotic/condensed sets II Abstract: We will continue the discussion of pyknotic sets, and introduce the notion of condensed sets.

Title: Symmetries of Fano varieties.Abstract: A landmark result of Birkar, Prokhorov, and Shramov shows that automorphism groups of Fano (or more generally rationally connected) varieties over C of a fixed dimension are […]
Title: An introduction to Hopf Rings.Abstract: An old guy’s perspective on what homotopy theory used to be about and why complex cobordism has become central to the study.And, I’ll show […]
Title: Dirac geometryAbstract: Whatever it is that animates anima and breathes life into higher algebra, this something gives the homotopy groups of a commutative algebra in spectra the structure of […]
Title: Elliptic curves and modular forms.Abstract: If you’ve heard of Fermat’s last theorem, you might have heard that its proof involves some sophisticated geometric objects that seemingly have nothing to […]
Title: Condensed abelian groups IAbstract: We will talk about the categories of κ-condensed abelian groups with Grothendieck axioms and why they are the abelian category of the nicest possible sort.
Title: Relative trace formulae and progress on the mixed truncationAbstract: After a quick (re)introduction to relative trace formulae, we shall focus on the divergence issue in establishing them. We plan […]
Title: Skein theory and the geometric Langlands program.Abstract: Skein modules are certain families of vector spaces spanned by embedded links or graphs in a 3-manifold M, modulo certain local relations. […]
Title: On the existence of isoperimetric sets on nonnegatively curved spaces Abstract: In this presentation, I will deal with the isoperimetric properties of spaces with nonnegative curvature, placing special emphasis on the existence […]
Title: On Fano and Calabi-Yau pairs of small coregularity.Abstract: The coregularity is an invariant that measures a specific type of combinatorial complexity of a pair. We will start this talk by defining […]
Title: Degenerate, Generalized, and Reduced Whittaker models Abstract: Whittaker models are realizations of representations on a space of functions that transform in a certain way under the action of a […]
