Complex surfaces | Algebraic surfaces
In mathematics, a Horikawa surface is one of the surfaces of general type introduced by Horikawa.These are surfaces with q = 0 and pg = c12/2 + 2 or c12/2 + 3/2 (which implies that they are more or less on the Noether line edge of the region of possible values of the Chern numbers). They are all simply connected, and Horikawa gave a detailed description of them. (Wikipedia).

Defending Earth from Asteroids with Neil deGrasse Tyson
There are about a million near-Earth asteroids that are large enough to substantially damage or destroy a major city, as evidenced by the explosion over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in February 2013 of a meteor no bigger than a large truck, which injured more than 1,000 people. With current space

Deep image reconstruction from human brain activity (Paper Explained)
Can you peek into people's brains? Reading human thoughts is a long-standing dream of the AI field. This paper reads fMRI signals from a person and then reconstructs what that person's eyes currently see. This is achieved by translating the fMRI signal to features of a Deep Neural Network

Complex surfaces 1: Introduction
This talk is part of a series giving an informal survey of complex algebraic surfaces. We give an overview of the Enriques-Kodaira classification, with examples of most of the different types of surfaces. We conclude by giving an example of a non-algebraic surface: the Hopf surface. Furth

Complex surfaces 5: Kodaira dimension 0
This talk is an informal survey of the complex projective surfaces of Kodaira number 0. We first explain why there are 4 types of such surfaces (Enriques, K3, hyperelliptic, and abelian) and then give a few examples of each type.
