  • Complex polynomial roots toy is a fun interactive tool by Leo Stein to see how changing the coefficients of a polynomial changes the location of its roots, and vice versa.
  • My friend Jan Vonk and his co-authors have recently been featured in Quanta for their preprint Explicit Chabauty-Kim for the split Cartan modular curve of level 13 (or more click-baity Are there are more than 7 points on the cursed curve?)
  • The advanced search at arXiv can tell you which ICM reports have already been uploaded for next year's ICM. The following is a list of reports which I find interesting (and therefore might be interesting to the reader of this blog)
    • Dan Abramovich, Resolution of singularities of complex algebraic varieties and their families
    • June Huh, Combinatorial applications of the Hodge–Riemann relations
    • Bjorn Poonen, Heuristics for the arithmetic of elliptic curves
    • Chenyang Xu, Interaction between singularity theory and the minimal model program
    • Rahul Pandharipande, Cohomological field theory calculations
    • Peter Scholze, $p$-adic geometry (check out the pictures!)
    • Caucher Birkar, Birational geometry of algebraic varieties
