<div>Abstract: </div>
<div>Quantum field theories with a complex action suffer from a sign problem in stochastic nonperturbative treatments, making many systems of great interest - such as polarized or mass-imbalanced fermions and QCD at finite baryon density – extremely challenging
to treat numerically. Another such system is that of bosons at finite angular momentum (or rotating superfluids). Experimentalists have successfully achieved vortex formation in supercooled bosonic atoms, and have measured quantities of interest such as the
moment of inertia. However, rotating superfluids suffer from a numerical sign problem, making the usual numerical treatments of the theory unusable. In this work, we use complex stochastic quantization to calculate basic properties of rotating superfluids.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">Recently GlueX published first measurements of near-threshold J/psi exclusive photoproduction. The heavy charmonium interacts
with the light quarks of the proton (that near threshold carry significant fraction of the proton momentum) predominantly via hard gluon exchange. The purpose of the presentation will be to discuss the possibilities of using the measured cross-sections to
study the gluonic distributions in the proton at high x. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">The GlueX detector will be described briefly and the main experimental
results will be presented. Theoretical works that describe the J/psi cross-section and relate it to the gluonic distributions will be discussed. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">The
