AbstractRecently, with Gardner and Mathew, I have constructed well-behaved stacks of prismatic (G,mu)displays, which give a "inear algebraic’ construction of p-divisible groups with additional structureThis verifies some conjectures of Drinfeld. in this talk, I'll give an impressionistic overview of theseobjects, and explain how they can be used to get a fresh understanding-in the hyperspecial...
Stabilizations, Satellites, and Exotic SurfacesAbstractA long standing question in the study of exotic behavior in dimension four is whether exotic behavior is “stable". For example, in thinking about the four-dimensional h-cobordism theorem, Wall proved that simply connected, exotic four-manifolds always become smoothly equivalent after applying a suitable stabilization operation enough times...
