The main goal of this talk is to discuss my proof of a multiplicity formula for polynomials over a real valued field. I also want to talk about some of the raisons d’être for hyperfields and polynomials over hyperfields. This talk is based on my paper “A Newton Polygon Rule for Formally-Real Valued Fields and Multiplicities over the Signed Tropical Hyperfield” which is in turn based on a paper of Matt Baker and Oliver Lorscheid “Descartes' rule of signs, Newton polygons, and polynomials over hyperfields.”
The talk will be held online via Bluejeans. Use the following link to join the meeting.

Right and left eigenvectors of non-Hermitian matrices form a bi-orthogonal system to which one can associate homogeneous quantities known as overlaps. The matrix of overlaps quantifies the stability of the spectrum and characterizes the joint eigenvalues increments under Dyson-type dynamics. Overlaps first appeared in the physics literature: Chalker and Mehlig calculated their conditional expectation for complex Ginibre matrices (1998). For the same model, we extend their results by deriving the distribution of the overlaps and their correlations (joint work with P. Bourgade). Similar results can be obtained for quaternionic Gaussian matrices, as well as matrices from the spherical and truncated-unitary ensembles.

In 1941, Hopf gave a proof of the fact that the rational cohomology of a compact connected Lie group is isomorphic to the cohomology of a product of odd dimensional spheres. The proof is natural in the sense that instead of using the classification of Lie groups, it utilizes the extra algebraic structures, now known as Hopf algebras. In this talk, we will discuss the algebraic background and the proof of the theorem.
