MSI Colloquium 2018: Ancient solutions to Geometric Flows »
Some of the most important problems in geometric flows are related to the understanding of singularities.
Grothendieck duality made simple »
Until very recently the accepted wisdom was that there is no clean way to set up the foundations of Grothendieck duality. This changed drastically recently: we have discovered a clean way to prove everything.
Harmonic Analysis Conference Celebrating the Mathematical Legacy of Alan McIntosh »
The 2018 Special Year in Analysis at the MSI will start with a conference honouring Alan’s memory, and mathematical legacy.
Optimal transportation between unequal dimensions »
In the last few decades, the theory of optimal transportation has blossomed into a powerful tool for exploring applications both within and outside mathematics.
Khovanov homology for links in thickened surfaces and a categorification of the skein algebra multiplication »
Khovanov homology can be defined for links in thickened surfaces.
Functoriality of link homologies and higher representation theory »
In the talk I will discuss how to obtain functoriality for coloured Khovanov–Rozansky homology.
Conference on Geometric and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations »
This conference will demonstrate and strengthen connections between geometric analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations.
The algebra and geometry of non-reduced curves »
In this talk, I will introduce the simplest kinds of non-reduced curves, and explain what they tell us about the geometry of smooth curves.
Can (deformation classes of local) gapped Hamiltonians be moved about from one manifold to another? »
I’ll explain how a generalization of Kirby’s torus trick from "Stable homeomorphisms and the annulus conjecture", Annals of Mathematics (1969) can be used to relocate a certain phases of matter from one manifold to another --- restrictions on both the phase and the manifolds may apply.
Can (deformation classes of local) gapped Hamiltonians be moved about from one manifold to another? »
This talk is a part of the International Physics Summer School on Topological Matter.
