We develop a theory of perverse sheaves on the semi-infinite flag manifold $G((t))/N((t))\cdot T[[t]]$, and show that the subcategory of Iwahori-monodromy perverse sheaves is equivalent to the regular block of the category of…
The convolution powers of a perverse sheaf on an abelian variety define an interesting family of branched local systems whose geometry is still poorly understood. We show that the generating series for their generic rank is a rational…
We study a class of perverse sheaves on the variety of pairs (P,gU_P) where P runs through a conjugacy class of parabolics in a connected reductive group G and gU_P runs through G/U_P. This is a generalization of the theory of character…
This is a collection of articles, written as sections, on arithmetic properties of differential equations, holomorphic foliations, Gauss-Manin connections and Hodge loci. Each section is independent from the others and it has its own…
This is an introductory article to the theory of multiple gaps.
These lecture notes provide an introduction to the theory of Wishart distributions and Wishart processes, particularly what concerns their existence and their realizations as solutions of Wishart SDEs. The material is based on recent…
In this paper we provide a "combinatorial" description of the category of tilting perverse sheaves on the affine flag variety of a reductive algebraic group, and its free-monodromic variant, with coefficients in a field of positive…
In this paper, we identify some categorical structures in which one can model predicative formal systems: in other words, predicative analogues of the notion of a topos, with the aim of using sheaf models to interprete predicative formal…
We compare the obstruction classes defined in arXiv:1101.4069 to those defined by Illusie. We also give sheaf theoretic proofs of some of the standard properties of the cotangent complex.
This is a brief pedagogical introduction to the theory of large deviations. It appeared in the ICTS Newsletter 2017 (Volume 3, Issue 2), goo.gl/pZWA6X.
We define a sheaf of abelian groups whose cohomology is represented by the cotangent complex. We show how obstructions to some standard deformation problems arise as the classes of torsors under and gerbes banded by this sheaf.
We study some properties of the characteristic cycle of a constructible complex on a smooth variety over a perfect field, push-forward and product.
The following article is one of introduction to additive frieze patterns, linking the subject to multiplicative frieze patterns. We also add two new theorems about additive frieze patterns (see theorem 2 and 5) and a conjecture about…
An expository introduction to bidding chess and other bidding games. To appear in Mathematical Intelligencer.
The interest in offensive content identification in social media has grown substantially in recent years. Previous work has dealt mostly with post level annotations. However, identifying offensive spans is useful in many ways. To help…
Investigation on open questions about perturbation of Hermitian sequences and their spectral symbols. Results on normal sequences are also furnished.
The aim of this note is to provide a concise introduction to so-called problems of unlikely intersections for (pure) Shimura varieties and to review the current state-of-the-art. In the process, we will touch upon more general settings and…
Let Q be an affine quiver of type A. Let C be the associated generalized Cartan matrix. Let U^- be the negative part of the quantized enveloping algebra attached to C. In terms of perverse sheaves on the moduli space of representations of a…

Recent developments regarding index and overlap construction for staggered fermions are reviewed, highlighting the surprising and unexpected aspects.
