| Abstract: | The observed dark matter (DM) abundance in the Universe can be fully accounted for by a minimally coupled spectator scalar field that was light during cosmic inflation. In this scenario, dark matter was produced during inflation by amplification of quantum fluctuations of the spectator field. I will discuss the DM isocurvature perturbations that are unavoidably generated in such scenarios and the circumstances under which they are not problematic for the viability of non-thermal DM models. I will also discuss implications of DM isocurvature for structure formation, showing that the model has interesting consequences which allow one to test the scenario. | |

| Abstract: | I will prove a theorem about 2D CFTs: Every unitary 2D CFT must contain a non-trivial Virasoro primary of scaling dimension at most c/8 + 1/2, where c is the central charge. At large c, this is an improvement of the Hellerman bound c/6 + O(1), and is relevant for constraining the spectrum of gravitational theories in AdS3. The proof follows from the modular bootstrap and uses analytic extremal functionals, originally developed in the context of four-point SL(2) conformal bootstrap. In the second part of the talk, I will discuss a surprising connection between modular bootstrap and the sphere-packing problem from discrete geometry. In particular, the above bound on the gap becomes a bound on the sphere-packing density. In 8 and 24 dimensions, this bound is sharp and leads to a solution of the sphere-packing problem in these dimensions, as originally proved by Viazovska et al. | |

| Abstract: | Classical genus zero proposes a duality phenomenon for Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds, relating the Yukawa coupling for a large structure limit of CY's and enumerative invariants of rational curves on a mirror CY. For the higher genus counting problem, the corresponding conjectural program was proposed by Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa (BCOV). In particular, they predict that a combination of holomorphic analytic torsions of large structure limits of CY's encapsulate genus one enumerative invariants on a mirror. In this talk I would like to present and discuss a refined conjecture which bypasses spectral theory and pertains to the realm of complex geometry, as for the Yukawa coupling. I will then explain a proof of this conjecture for the mirror family of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective space, which relies on the arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem in Arakelov geometry. The result is compatible with the BCOV predictions, as well as related work by Zinger. | |

| Abstract: | The theory of Bridgeland stability conditions has seen important developments in the past few years. Emerging from the mathematical physics literature, in particular in Douglas' work, it now connects to different branches in mathematics including symplectic geometry and representation theory. In this talk we will give a quick introduction to the basic theory of stability conditions for the derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety, focusing on the recent advances in the threefold case; in particular, on the existence result for the quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. | |
