We consider the varifolds associated to phase transitions whose first variation of Allen-Cahn energy is $L^p$ integrable with respect to the energy measure. We can see that the Dirichlet and potential part of the energy are almost equidistributed. After passing to the phase field limit, one can obtain an integer rectifiable varifold with bounded $L^p$ mean curvature. This is joint work with Huy Nguyen.

It is well understood by works of Fukaya and Teleman that the Fukaya category of a symplectic reduction at a regular value of the moment map can be computed before taking the quotient as an equivariant Fukaya category. Informed by mirror calculations,  we will give a new geometric interpretation of the equivariant Fukaya category corresponding to a singular value of the moment map where the equivariance is traded with wrapping.

Joint work in progress with Ed Segal.

In this talk I'll discuss some applications of the mean curvature flow to self shrinkers in R^3 and R^4.

Glueing construction has been used extensively to construct solutions to nonlinear geometric PDEs. In this talk, I will focus on the glueing construction of solutions to Lagrangian mean curvature flow. Specifically, I will explain the construction of Lagrangian translating solitons by glueing a small special Lagrangian 'Lawlor neck' into the intersection point of suitably rotated Lagrangian Grim Reaper cylinders. I will also discuss an ongoing joint project with Chung-Jun Tsai and Albert Wood, where we investigate the construction of solutions to Lagrangian mean curvature flow with infinite time singularities.

First we recall the mirror symmetry identification of the coordinate ring of certain very stable upward flows in the Hitchin system and the Kirillov algebra for the minuscule representation of the Langlands dual group via the equivariant cohomology of the cominuscule flag variety (e.g. complex Grassmannian). In turn we discuss a conjectural extension of this picture to non-very stable upward flows in terms of a big commutative subalgebra of the Kirillov algebra, which also ringifies the equivariant intersection cohomology of the corresponding affine Schubert variety.

Associated to any smooth projective curve C is its degree d Jacobian variety, parametrising isomorphism classes of degree d line bundles on C. Letting the curve vary as well, one is led to the universal Jacobian stack. This stack admits several compactifications over the stack of marked stable curves $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, depending on the choice of a stability condition. In this talk I will introduce these compactified universal Jacobians, and explain how their moduli spaces can be constructed using Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). This talk is based on arXiv:2210.11457.
