K-theory arose in the 1950s from Grothendieck’s formulation of the Riemann-Roch theorem – that is, from attempts to calculate spaces of sections of vector bundles on a variety X via intersection theory on X.  An equivariant version was introduced...

Open book decompositions provide a topological decomposition of a given manifold. We focus on dimension three. While the definition seems to be purely topological, it encodes information about fibered knots, surface dynamics, contact structures of...

Abstract: Type II string theory has BPS brane bound states that carry two charges. I will show that their microcanonical ensemble average corresponds to a spherical black hole mimicker, which possesses a long throat, shares the same asymptotic data...

I will discuss joint work in progress with Will Sawin on function field multiple Dirichlet series constructed based on a set of axioms from algebraic geometry. These series have applications to moments of Dirichlet L-functions for characters of...
