We explore the proposal that de Sitter theories containing an infinite tower of interacting gauge fields of increasing spin are connected holographically to certain critical statistical field theories with negative central charge. We discuss both perturbative and non-perturbative features. Finally, we discuss how the naive degrees of freedom of the bulk description might be severely reduced to a non-extensive (in spatial volume) amount, as might be expected in a quantum theory of de Sitter space.

Title: Counting from Infinity: Yitang Zhang and the Twin Prime Conjecture, A film by George Csicsery
Summary: "In April 2013, a lecturer at the University of New Hampshire submitted a paper to the Annals of Mathematics. Within weeks word spread: a little-known mathematician, with no permanent job and working in complete isolation, had made an important breakthrough towards solving the Twin Prime Conjecture. Yitang Zhang's techniques for bounding the gaps between primes soon led to rapid incremental progress by the Polymath Group, and then to a further major innovation by James Maynard. The film is a study of Zhang's rise from obscurity and a disadvantaged youth to mathematical celebrity. The story of quiet perseverance amidst adversity, and Zhang's preference for thinking and working in solitude, is interwoven with a history of the Twin Prime Conjecture as told by several mathematicians, many of whom have wrestled with this enormously challenging problem in Number Theory."

Title: On the perfect reconstruction of the topology of dynamic networks
Abstract: The network inference problem consists in reconstructing the topology or wiring diagram of a dynamic network from time-series data. Even though this problem has been studied in the past, there is no algorithm that guarantees perfect reconstruction of the topology of a dynamic network. In this talk I will present a framework and algorithm to solve the network inference problem for discrete-time networks that, given enough data, is guaranteed to reconstruct the topology of a dynamic network perfectly. The framework uses tools from algebraic geometry.
