About

I will post papers, talks etc here.

Papers

Manzoor, There Is An Equivalence Relation Whose von Neumann Algebra Is Not Connes Embeddable, 2025, arXiv:2502.06697

I also have a masters thesis. At Waterloo the masters thesis is really supposed to be expository and not have new results, and for the most part this is true. I do show that a bound for CSS local testability in literature is off by a constant.

Seminar/Conference Talks

Here are talks I have given at seminars/conferences.

• There is a non-Connes embeddable Equivalence Relation
  • COSY 2025, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
  • UIUC Quantum Lunch, 11th July 2025

Seminars

I am not running any seminars currently. These are seminars that I have run before:

Quantum PCPs seminar, Spring 2024 at Waterloo.

Teaching

Here are some things I have done beyond just TAing:

• I supervised a measure theory reading group I ran. Here are the Problem sets and weekly readings
• Ross Math camp counselor 2023 and 2025.
We did 10 hour overnight lectures where I was one of the main lecturers both years. 2023 was Galois theory with 3 of us lecturing for the 10 hours. 2025 was Algebraic topology with 2 of us.
• Directed reading program at Waterloo for Women in Math.
  • 2023 Winter, Model theory.
  • 2024 Fall, Word hyperbolic groups

Other Talks

Here are my talk slides/recorded talks:

Model theory of II_1 factors, for an introductory course on tracial von Nuemann algebras.

The complexity class QMA, for an introductory course in quantum information.

On the (co)homology of spectra for an seminar on stable homotopy theory

Brown representability same seminar
