"A proof of a Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for Vafa-Witten bundles, Part 1"
In this talk we start with a theorem that states that if a Vafa-Witten pair (E,φ) over a Kähler surface is polystable is there exists a unique Hermitian metric on E that satisfies the Vafa-Witten equations. We will discuss the details of this theorem and give a proof of it due to Yuuji Tanaka.

"Perfectoid Spaces, Diamonds, and Applications"
I explain Peter Scholze's concepts of perfectoid spaces and diamonds, then describe some applications to the Langlands program.

"Nef and effective cones of the Hilbert scheme of 3 points in $\mathbb{P}^3$"
We compute some higher (co)dimension nef and effective cones of the Hilbert scheme of 3 points in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This involves studying the orbits of the PGL action on the Hilbert scheme, as well as extending Mallavibarrena and Sols' bases for the Chow groups of Hilbert schemes of points on $\mathbb{P}^2$ to the case of the Hilbert scheme of 3 points in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This work builds on results of Ryan and Stathis.
