"Reverse Math VII"
We discuss some results and open problems related to the reverse mathematics of results in structural Ramsey theory.

"Markovianity and the Thompson Monoid F+"
We show that representations of the Thompson monoid F+ yield a large class of unilateral stationary noncommutative Markov processes. As a partial converse, unilateral stationary Markov processes in tensor dilation form (and in particular, in the commutative setting) are shown to yield representations of F+. This is joint work with Claus Koestler and Stephen J. Wills.

"Haagerup's noncommutative Grothendieck inequality (cont. cont. cont.)"
We will continue^3 to prove things related to and on the subject of the NCG theorem. Possibly we will finish the proof of the theorem this week, and possibly not; we conjecture that no third option exists, but we are unable to prove this claim at present. Time permitting, we may attempt to prove this rigorously; this attempt is unlikely to be successful, veracity of the claim notwithstanding.

"Sheaves of Modules on Schemes"
We introduce sheaves of modules associated to schemes and in particular study the theory of coherent sheaves, quasi-coherent sheaves, and vector bundles.
