Title: "An introduction to Lie groups, Symmetric spaces, and Shimura
varieties based on examples".
Abstract: I will give an introductory course of 3-4 lectures on the topics
mentioned in the title to an audience without any prior knowledge of the
subject which is a meeting ground for Differential geometry, Algebraic
geometry, and Number theory.

Title: Circles in the sand.
Abstract: I will describe the role played by an Apollonian circle packing
in the scaling limit of the abelian sandpile on the square grid Z^2. The
sandpile solves a certain integer optimization problem. Associated to each
circle in the packing is a locally optimal solution to that problem. Each
locally optimal solution can be described by an infinite periodic pattern
of sand, and the patterns associated to any four mutually tangent circles
obey an analogue of the Descartes Circle Theorem. Joint work with Wesley
Pegden and Charles Smart.

Title: Sum rules and large deviations,
Abstract: In a famous paper published in Annals of Mathematics (2003),
Killip and Simon gave a Szegö like theorem for the circular law (sum
rule). The proof of this sum rule relies on mathematical analysis. This
sum rule relates the Kullback-Leibler information with respect to the
semi-circular law to coefficients involved in the recursive construction
of the orthogonal polynomials. Using the theory of large deviations for
random matrices we recover easily this sum rules and provide a full
machinery to establish and prove new ones.
