Quantization and Index Theory.
In the first part, we introduce some basic ideas and various recent mathematical developments about quantization that arises from quantum field theory and string theory. In the second part, we discuss several applications to geometry and topology. In particular, we present an effective quantization theory for 2d chiral field theories, and explain its connection with elliptic chiral homology of chiral algebras and index theory.

Korevaar–Schoen's energy on strongly rectifiable spaces.
We extend Korevaar-Schoen’s theory of metric valued Sobolev maps to cover the case of the source space being an RCD-space. When the target space is CAT(0) we establish that the corresponding energy functional is convex, lower semicontinuous and admits a unique minimizer, in line with the smooth situation. The talk is based on the joined work:
