Mod-p Poincare Duality in p-adic Analytic Geometry
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Etale cohomology of $F_p$-local systems does not behave nicely on general smooth p-adic rigid-analytic spaces; e.g., the $F_p$-cohomology of the 1-dimensional closed unit ball is infinite. 

However, it turns out that the situation is much better if...

Mathematical Conversations

Grothendieck's Nightmare and Subsequent Dreams
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

In Récoltes et Semailles, Grothendieck explains that, exactly once in his life, doing math had become painful for him. It was at the end of the analytic part of his career, when he was obsessed by the approximation problem. I will explain what this...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Exploring the Dynamics of Supercritical Accretion onto the Strongly Magnetized Neutron Stars
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars are neutron stars that accrete matter from a companion star in a binary system, which exhibit fascinating dynamics. The strong magnetic field of the neutron star guides material onto the magnetic poles, which are...
