Classification of Measures and Counting on Surfaces
4:30pm|314 Fine Hall

In this talk, we discuss recent developments of geometric methods to classify (infinite) invariant measures in various settings, homogeneous and non-homogeneous. We then discuss new counting results for objects on hyperbolic surfaces. This is joint...

Reductions for Convex Wolff Axioms
Dmitrii Zakharov
2:00pm|Simonyi 101

In their resolution of the 3D Kakeya conjecture, Wang and Zahl studied collections of tubes satisfying Convex Wolff axioms. I will discuss a variant of their approach, giving a simpler argument in 3D and that can be extended to collections of convex...

$L^4$-Norms of Automorphic Forms in the Depth Aspect
Marius Fischer
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

A classical problem in harmonic analysis is to understand how the mass of Laplace eigenfunctions distributes as their parameters tend to infinity. In this talk, I will consider this problem on arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces obtained as quotients of...

Counting from the North-South Dynamics
Inhyeok Choi
4:30pm|314 Fine Hall

How many closed geodesics with length less than $L$ are there on a hyperbolic surface? Classical results of Huber and Margulis say that the counting function has asymptotics $\frac{e^{L}}{L}$. When one is concerned with closed geodesics of a fixed...
