One can regard a self-map on a space as a dynamical system, and study its
long-term behavior under larger iterations. In this talk, we will introduce
the categorical version of such dynamical systems, and establish invariants
that one can associate to endofunctors of categories from the dynamical
perspective. We will also explain some results on categorical dynamical
systems that are related to holomorphic dynamics, symplectic dynamics,
Teichmuller theory, and Poincare rotation numbers. No background in
dynamical systems is assumed for this talk.

We construct K ̈ahler-Einstein metric with negative curvature near an isolated log canonical singularity by solving Monge-Amp`ere equation with Dirichlet boundary. We continue to consider the geometry of the Kahler-Einstein metric we constructed. In particular, in complex dimension 2, we show that all complete local K ̈ahler-Einstein metrics near isolated singularity are asymptotic the same as the model metric constructed by Kobayashi and Nakamura.

Rapidly oscillating functions associated with Lagrangian submanifolds play a fundamental role in semi-classical analysis. In this talk I will describe how to associate spaces of semi-classical oscillatory functions to isotropic submanifolds of phase space, and sketch their symbol calculus. As a special case we obtain the semi-classical version of the Hermite distributions of Boutet the Monvel and Guillemin. I will also discuss a couple applications of the theory. This is based on joint works with Victor Guillemin and Alejandro Uribe.

In this talk I will address the problem of classifying volume
preserving stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Riemannian
manifolds. I will present recent classification in the real projective space
of any dimension and, consequently, the solution of the isoperimetric
problem.

Every area-minimizing hypercone having only an isolated singularity fits into a foliation by smooth, area-minimizing hypersurfaces asymptotic to the cone itself. In this talk I will present the following epsilon-regularity result: every minimal surfaces lying sufficiently close to a minimizing quadratic cone (for example, the Simons' cone), is a perturbation of either the cone itself, or some leaf of its associated foliation. This result also implies the Bernstein-type result of Simon-Solomon, which characterizes area-minimizing hypersurfaces asymptotic to a quadratic cone as either the cone itself, or some leaf of the foliation, and it also allows to study convergence to singular minimal hyper surfaces. This is a joint result with N. Edelen
