Today was the final day of the 38th British Topology Meeting. It was fun! Great to see so many young people in the field and hear all the recent developments.

The first step in a project that is dear to my heart has now appeared on the arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2509.04134). In it we develop a unified framework describing how different notions of symmetries of operator algebras are interlinked. We reveal interesting connections with homotopy theory as well.
G-kernels and Crossed Modules
We develop a unified framework based on topological crossed modules for various lifting obstructions for $Γ$-kernels. It allows us to identify actions, cocycle actions and $Γ$-kernels up to their natu...

Just a member of the UK parliament asking me, my family, my neighbours, my colleagues, school teachers, friends and a large proportion of the NHS to leave the country.

And the richest person in the world endorsing the message.

Are we still having the ICM in Philly next year?
This would more or less halt the ability of scientists and academics from visiting the US to give talks, attend meetings and workshops, collaborate with peers on research and I think that is the primary point. 🧪
The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

The devastating funding cuts to mathematics research in the US will cut-short the careers of a generation of mathematicians. It really is disgraceful, and unbelievably shortsighted. #MathSky

At last. This really is excellent news! Something the EU had asked for a very long time ago. Looks like Yvette Cooper now lost that battle to limit it to 12 months.
Good. It's high time young Brits and Europeans can get to know each other again.
