Condensed Mathematics: exploring a rising theory
Topological spaces are a key concept in modern mathematics, and they can model different types of objects, but not without problems…
Condensed Mathematics is a new theory currently being developed by Dustin Clausen and Peter Scholze with the goal of solving such problems by redefining the concept of topological space. The result unifies different branches of mathematics (analysis, p-adic geometry, complex geometry): in this talk, I will present the foundations and the basic definitions of this rising theory. Finally, I will show how Condensed Mathematics can provide a new approach to the classical problem of computing the K-theory of C. In the same way, it is likely that the new objects coming from the condensed world will make it possible to attack mathematical conjectures in a new way.
