Condensed Learning Seminar

Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch, Part I
Vadim Vologodsky
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Explain the formulation of the Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem for analytic adic spaces: go through [And23, pp. 32-38] and define all relevant objects and maps. Before explaining the construction of the Chern class map, define the sheaf KU∧p on...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

Higher Congruences For Modular Forms and Zeta Elements
Eric Urban
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

In a recent joint work with S. Iyengar, C. Khare and J. Manning, we use their notion of congruence modules in higher codimension to give a new construction of the bottom class of the rank d=[F:\Q] Euler system attached to nearly ordinary Hilbert...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Random Cayley Graphs From a Combinatorial Perspective
Huy Tuan Pham
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Cayley graphs provide interesting bridges between graph theory, additive combinatorics and group theory. Fixing an ambient finite group, random Cayley graphs are constructed by choosing a generating set at random. These graphs reflect interesting...

Joint IAS/Princeton Arithmetic Geometry Seminar

Pointwise Good Reduction Criteria for Local Systems
Ziquan Yang
3:30pm|Fine 322, Princeton University

Let S be a connected smooth rigid analytic variety over a p-adic field K and let T be a p-adic local system over S. A celebrated theorem of Liu and Zhu says that if V is de Rham at one classical point, then V is globally de Rham. When S has good...

Members' Colloquium

Algebraic K-Theory and P-Adic Arithmetic Geometry
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

To any unital, associative ring R one may associate a family of invariants known as its algebraic K-groups. Although they are essentially constructed out of simple linear algebra data over the ring, they see an extraordinary range of information...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Big Fiber Theorems, Ideal-Valued Measures, and Symplectic Topology
Leonid Polterovich
12:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss an adaptation of Gromov's ideal-valued measures to symplectic topology. It leads to a unified viewpoint at three "big fiber theorems": the Centerpoint Theorem in combinatorial geometry, the Maximal Fiber Inequality in topology, and...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Additive Combinatorics Without Groups
Huy Tuan Pham
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Subsets $A$ of an abelian group with a small doubling $|A+A|/|A|$ have been extensively studied, and results of Freiman, Ruzsa and Green give fundamental structural descriptions of such sets. These have important applications across combinatorics...

Joint IAS/PU Analysis Seminar

An Energy Model for Harmonic Graphs with Junctions
Ovidiu Savin
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We consider an energy model for N ordered elastic membranes subject to forcing and boundary conditions. The heights of the membranes are described by real functions u_1, u_2,...,u_N, which minimize an energy functional involving the Dirichlet...
