We're about halfway through the year, but I'm fairly confident this will be the best mathematics podcast interview for 2024. Freedman's input on Perelman's proof, TQFT's relation to quantum computing, Witten lore... The quality of this content is astounding. Well done Timothy!
1:50 Laurent Lafforgue went to work for Huawei in 2021. Perelman was also once reported to have been working briefly at a nanotechnology company in Sweden, possibly where his sister worked at the time, but I don't know if the report was actually just speculation.
In the usual sense of Witten TQFT, I am not sure how non-unitarity will result in from taking a diagonal SU(2) of SU(2)*SU(2) as twisted states. How to add up the twisted states /Sum_U^dagger U>1?

Thank you so much for the kind words!
Hey, Timothy! I just subbed to your channel after watching your appearance Professor Dave's video. Excellent work!
Super interesting! Congratz for the Cartesian Cafe success!
Fantastic episode! Fantastic guest!

Thanks for the info!
amazing channel, what a find
Incredible episode! You should get Alexander Givental or Mariusz Wodzicki both very interesting Berkeley math professors.

This is amazing
👍🏼🇲🇽🙂
Bro has only had one women on his entire podcast
Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in getting 6 other women guests on.
