In order to incorporate ideas from algebraic topology in concrete contexts such as topological data analysis and topological lattice field theories, one needs effective constructions of concepts defined only abstractly or axiomatically. In this talk, I will discuss such constructions for certain invariants derived from the cup product on the coh...

I will describe a class of results on concentration in L_p Kantorovich distances of the empirical spectral measures of random matrices from various ensembles; in particular, I will discuss results for random matrices from the compact classical groups, various ensembles of Hermitian random matrices, the complex Ginibre ensemble, and a random matr...
