4 November – Peter Scholze: Condensed Mathematics

In joint work with Dustin Clausen, the talk will introduce a potential replacement for topological spaces, called condensed sets, which resolves many of these foundational issues. Scholze will try to explain what condensed sets are, and how they improve on topological spaces. Peter Scholze is

1 July – Irit Dinur: P, NP, and Probabilistically Checkable Proofs
