New and improved observational facilities are sampling the night
sky with unprecedented temporal cadence and sensitivity across the
electromagnetic spectrum. This exercise led to the discovery of new
types of astronomical transients and...
Extremal set theory typically asks for the largest collection of
sets satisfying certain constraints. In the first talk of these
series, I'll cover some of the classical results and methods in
extremal set theory. In particular, I'll cover the...
Open Gromov-Witten (OGW) invariants should count
pseudoholomorphic maps from curves with boundary to a symplectic
manifold, with various constraints on boundary and interior marked
points. The presence of boundary poses an obstacle to invariance.
In...
