Title: Perverse sheaves and resurgence. Abstract: Perverse sheaves provide a topological counterpart of regular holonomic D-modules, whose solutions are multivalued functions of certain restricted type. Now, much more general multivalued functions (on the complex plane C) have been studied in J. … Read more

Positive geometry Abstract. Positive geometries are topological spaces sitting inside algebraic varieties that generalize convex polytopes embedded in projective space. Examples of positive geometries appear in the study of total positivity, toric varieties, and configuration spaces. I will give a … Read more
