Department of Mathematics - Seminar on Pure Mathematics - Geometric Langlands and co-adjoint orbits
Geometric Langlands can be interpreted as a mirror symmetry between the moduli space of Higgs bundle of group $G$ via the same moduli space of its Langlands dual $G'$. Once we

Department of Mathematics - Seminar on Statistics and Data Science - Exponential Lower Bounds and Fast Convergence for Policy Optimization
Policy gradient (PG) methods and their variants lie at the heart of modern reinforcement learning. Due to the intrinsic non-concavity of value maximization, however, the theoretical underpinnings of PG-type methods have been limited even until recently.

Department of Mathematics - Mathematics Colloquium - Convex hulls of random walks
We will show how the convex hulls of multidimensional random walks can be studied using the geometric properties of the polyhedral cones. In particular, we will discuss some unexpected corollaries from the conic version of the Gauss-Bonnet formula.

Department of Mathematics - Seminar on PDE - Higher order asymptotics for fast diffusions on bounded domains
Sobolev-subcritical fast diffusion with vanishing boundary condition leads to
finite-time extinction, with a vanishing profile selected by the initial datum. In a joint
work with R. McCann and C. Seis, we quantify the rate of convergence to this profile for

Decarbonising Hong Kong 2050 Series: Is Hydrogen The New Oil?
Transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon emissions. To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the transport sector is actively exploring alternative fuels as it charts a path towards sustainable mobility.
