Special Year Research Seminar

Recognizing Groups in Erdős Geometry and Model Theory
Artem Chernikov
3:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Erdős-style geometry is concerned with combinatorial questions about simple geometric objects, such as counting incidences between finite sets of points, lines, etc. These questions can be typically viewed as asking for the possible number of...

Marston Morse Lectures

From Nonlocal Games to Undecidability
Thomas Vidick
11:00am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access - see Zoom link below

In this lecture I will present basic elements of the theory of nonlocal games from quantum information theory and give some examples. I will then introduce the idea of "compressing" the complexity of nonlocal games, and show how the right form of...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Exploring galactic nuclei with tidal disruption events
Brenna Mockler
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide an exciting opportunity to study supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in quiescent galaxies and the stellar populations and dynamics in galactic nuclei. They test the limits of black hole accretion by regularly...

Joint IAS/PU Number Theory Seminar

Integrality of Theta Liftings to a Definite U(2)
Yu-Sheng Lee
4:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 214

We discuss the integrality of theta liftings of anti-cyclotomic characters to a definite unitary group of two variables. This will allow us to construct a Hida family of the theta liftings and relate the congruence module of which to an anti...

A Relative Calabi-Yau Structure for Legendrian Contact Homology
Georgios Dimitroglou Rizell
9:15am|Remote Access

The duality long exact sequence relates linearised Legendrian contact homology and cohomology and was originally constructed by Sabloff in the case of Legendrian knots. We show how the duality long exact sequence can be generalised to a relative...
