The answer that I will propose is a higher categorical structure in symplectic geometry that includes all Fukaya categories and geometric functors between them. Its highly involved algebraic and analytic details are the topic of joint work with Nate Bottman. However, its basic structure can be understood as a natural -- yet not previously studied -- extension of the category of topological spaces and continuous maps.

The elliptic gamma function was (re)discovered in 1997 by Ruijsenaars; it gives rise to solutions of models in statistical / mathematical physics. It has a surprising number-theoretic appearance as demonstrated recently by Bergeron, Charollois and García. In parallel with the role of classical Jacobi theta form describing the class field for quadratic imaginary fields, the elliptic gamma function (conjecturally) does this task for cubic fields with a complex embedding.

Number theory lunch seminar

We show that the modern version of the circle method powered by the equidistribution of quadratic roots allows us to count special points on quadratic surfaces. For example, we obtain asymptotics for integer points on quadratic surfaces with prime coordinates and in short intervals.

The topological K-theory of Z/2-graded C*-algebras plays an important role in operator theory. Historically, finding the definition was rather subtle, for several reasons. For example, simply taking the K-theory of a category of graded modules does not give the 'correct' definition, as I will explain. The definition of Z/2-graded C*-algebras by Karoubi is mostly outmoded because of Kasparov's KK-theory, whose technical definitions are more amenable to computations in index theory.
