Fourier Interpolation and the Weil Representation
4:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 214

In 2017, Radchenko-Viazovska proved a remarkable interpolation result for even Schwartz functions on the real line: such a function is entirely determined by its values and those of its Fourier transform at square roots of integers. We give a new...

Gowers Uniformity of Arithmetic Functions in Short Intervals
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: I will present results establishing cancellation in short sums of arithmetic functions (in particular the von Mangoldt and divisor functions) twisted by polynomial exponential phases, or more general nilsequence phases. These results imply...

Polynomial Progressions in Topological Fields and Their Applications to Pointwise Convergence Problems
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: Abstract: We will discuss multilinear variants of Weyl's inequality for the exponential sums arising in pointwise convergence problems related to the Furstenberg-Bergelson-Leibman conjecture. We will also illustrate how to use the...

Infinite Sumsets in Sets with Positive Density
10:00am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

ABSTRACT: In the 1970’s Erdos asked several questions about what kind of infinite structures can be found in every set of natural numbers with positive density. In recent joint work with Kra, Richter and Robertson we proved that every such set A can...

Projection Theorems and Applications
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: Given a fractal set E in $R^n$ and a set F in $Gr(k,n)$, can we find k-plane S in F such that the orthogonal projection of E onto S is large? 

We will survey some classical and recent projection theorems and discuss their applications. ...

Distribution of Orbits at Prime and Semi-prime Times
Adam Kanigowski
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: For a topological dynamical systems (T, X) and a fixed $x \in X$ we are interested in the distribution of prime and semi-prime orbits, i.e. ${T px}p='$ and ${T p1p2 x}p1,p2='$. We are interested in systems for which the related sequences...

What Have We Learned From the Archimedes Palimpsest?
William Noel and Reviel Netz
11:15am|Rubenstein Commons | Meeting Room 5

The main source for the works of Archimedes is a medieval manuscript, written originally around in 975 CE and then erased and covered with a prayerbook in the year 1229. Briefly studied in 1906, the full contents of the manuscripts were finally...

Thermodynamic Formalism for B-free Dynamical Systems
Joana Kulaga-Przymus
10:00am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: Given $B \subset N$, we consider the corresponding set $FB$ of $B$-free integers, i.e. $n \inFB i_ no b \in B$ divides $n$. We $de_{ne} X \eta_}$ the B-free subshift _ as the smallest subshift containing $\eta := 1FB \in {0, 1}Z$. Such...
