"On the distribution of torsion points modulo primes"
Let A be a commutative algebraic group dened over a number field K. For a prime } in K where A has good reduction, let N};n be the number of n-torsion F}-rational points of the reduction of A modulo } where F} is the residue field of } and n is a positive integer. When A is of dimension one

“The complexity of the relation of unitary equivalence for automorphisms of separable unital C*-algebras”
A classical result of Glimm from 1961 asserts that the irreducible
representations of a given separable C*-algebra A are classifiable by real
numbers up to unitary equivalence if and only if A is type I. In 2008,
Kerr-Li-Pichot and, independently, Farah proved that when A is not type I,

"Keeping it Simplicial"
The aim of this talk is to build up as much intuition as time allows about all things simplicial. This includes n-simplices, simplicial complexes and their polytopes, abstract simplicial complexes and the geometric realisation of such abstract objects.
