Forest polynomials and quasisymmetry

In this talk I will introduce the combinatorics behind some new connections between the classical notion of quasisymmetry in algebraic combinatorics to the geometry of the flag variety.

Vector bundles over topologically contractible smooth affine complex varieties

A smooth complex variety X is called topologically contractible if its set of complex points, viewed as a complex manifold with analytic topology, is a contractible topological space. The primordial examples of topologically contractible smooth affine complex varieties are given by affine spaces. The generalized Serre question on algebraic vector bundles asks whether algebraic vector bundles over topologically contractible smooth affine complex varieties are always trivial. In this talk, we survey classical results and highlight the most recent developments on this problem.

Brief introduction to forcing

With an eye towards working through the recent preprint by Arulseelan and Hanson on AW*-algebras, I will give a brief introduction to set-theoretic forcing, with a focus on Boolean-valued models.
