"More projective geometry"
Projective schemes make a comeback! Following our previous discussion on closed immersions and closed subschemes, the next natural step is to study closed embeddings of projective schemes.
As for affine schemes, we will see that a surjection of graded rings induces a closed embedding of projective schemes. Conversely, every closed subscheme of a projective scheme arises from a graded ideal, hence, is projective itself.

"Every $\Delta^0_2$ degree is a strong degree of categoricity"
We sketch the proof that every $\Delta^0_2$ degree is a strong degree of categoricity. This is joint work with Keng Meng Ng.

"Examples of Ancient Flows on Bundles"
I will report on joint work with Peng Lu on constructing ancient flows on a large class of compact bundles. These examples are of type I and include both collapsed and non-collapsed cases. In special cases, we can also describe the forwards limit of these ancient flow. As a bonus of this work, we also obtain examples of such ancient flows for pseudo-Riemannian metrics.

"Mean dimension and von Neumann-Lueck rank"
Mean dimension is an invariant in topological dynamics, while von Neumann-Lueck rank is an invariant in L2-invariants theory, closely related to the L2-Betti numbers. Based on joint work with Bingbing Liang, I will discuss how these two invariants are related to each other.

"Uncountable SIs in residually small varieties in a countable signature, part II"
Continuing the proof of "the theorem" of McKenzie and Shelah, I will prove some properties of pp-1-types in subdirectly irreducible algebras whose monolith is (0,1)-generated.
