Abstract: In this talk, we discuss recent work on the Hausdorff and packing dimension of pinned distance sets in the plane. Given a point x in the plane , and a subset E , the pinned distance set of  E with respect to x is the set of all distances between x and the points of E . An important open problem is understanding the Hausdorff, and packing, dimensions of pinned distance sets. We will discuss ongoing progress on this problem, and present improved lower bounds for both the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of pinned distance sets. We also discuss the computability-theoretic methods used to achieve these bounds.

Title: Zeros of polynomials and free probability
Abstract: I will discuss briefly the connections of some problems from the geometric theory of polynomials to notions from free probability, such as free convolution. More specifically, I will illustrate it with two examples:
- real zeros of some hypergeometric polynomials, their monotonicity, interlacing, and asymptotics;
- flow of zeros of polynomials under iterated differentiation.

Title: Dimensions of pinned distance sets in the plane

Abstract: In this talk, we discuss recent work on the Hausdorff and packing dimension of pinned distance sets in the plane. Given a point x in the plane , and a subset E , the pinned distance set of E with respect to x is the set of all distances between x and the points of E . An important open problem is understanding the Hausdorff, and packing, dimensions of pinned distance sets. We will discuss ongoing progress on this problem, and present improved lower bounds for both the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of pinned distance sets. We also discuss the computability-theoretic methods used to achieve these bounds.

Title: Zeros of polynomials and free probability

Abstract: I will discuss briefly the connections of some problems from the geometric theory of polynomials to notions from free probability, such as free convolution. More specifically, I will illustrate it with two examples: - real zeros of some hypergeometric polynomials, their monotonicity, interlacing, and asymptotics; - flow of zeros of polynomials under iterated differentiation.
