I will explain some new techniques for computing the homology of braid groups with coefficients in a certain class of exponential representations that arise in a natural way from braided monoidal categories. Surprisingly (at least to me), these...

The inverse Galois problem asks whether every finite group occurs as the Galois group of an extension of the rational numbers. In 2002, Malle made this existential question more numerical, by conjecturing an asymptotic formula on the growth of the...
