In this introductory talk, we describe an older result (with David Dumas) that relates hyperbolic affine spheres over polygons to polynomial Pick differentials in the plane. All the definitions will be developed.  In the last few minutes, I will quickly introduce two analytic problems in other directions that I struggle with.
