"Metatheorems (Part 2)"
We will introduce the game metatheorem of Antonio Montalban and discuss its function. Several examples of its usefulness will be given.

"Index theory of the Dirac operator on manifolds with polyhedral boundary and its applications"
I will introduce a new index theory for Dirac operators on manifolds with polyhedral boundary and discuss how this theory can be applied to solve Gromov's dihedral extremality conjecture on scalar curvature. This is joint work with Jinmin Wang and Zhizhang Xie. This talk will be accessible to non-experts including graduate students.

"More about the Langlands Program"
We will talk about the Fourier-Mukai transform and how it relates to geometric Langlands correspondence, Geometric Langlands for reductive groups (geometric Satake equivalence) and their examples. If time allows, we will give a deformed version of the Fourier-Mukai transform.
This seminar will be held both online and in person:
