In these two talks, I will discuss the structure of certain varieties that depend functorially on the choice of a finite-dimensional vector space. Examples include the variety of d-way tensors of "slice rank" at most k and the variety of degree-d...

The restriction conjecture, one of the most central problems in harmonic analysis, studies the Fourier transform of functions defined on curved surfaces; specifically, it claims that the level sets of such Fourier transforms are relatively small...

Given a topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ a bounded sequence $(a_n)$ and $f\in C(X)$ we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of $$\frac{1}{\sum_{n\leq N}|a_n|}\sum_{n\leq N}a_nf(T^nx)$$

This will be a survey talk about recent progress on pointwise convergence problems for multiple ergodic averages along polynomial orbits and their relations with the Furstenberg-Bergelson-Leibman conjecture.
