Abstract: This series of five talks aims to provide a comprehensive and structured introduction to the foundational concepts, principal results, and applications of condensed mathematics. Developed by Dustin Clausen and Peter Scholze, this new framework offers a powerful language to unify disparate branches of geometry, topology, and analysis. By systematically replacing the category of topological spaces with a better-behaved alternative, condensed mathematics provides rigorous foundations for concepts previously treated only heuristically and opens new avenues for research in arithmetic geometry, representation theory, and beyond.
