Speaker #1 (Lawler): I will present a somewhat novel approach to known relationships (in works of Sheffield, Miller, and others) between SLE and GFF, the exponential of the GFF (quantum length/area), and Minkowski content of paths. The Neumann GFF...

I will explain a new construction of an Euler system for the symmetric square of an eigenform and its connection with L-values. The construction makes use of some simple Eisenstein cohomology classes for Sp(4) or, equivalently, SO(3,2). This is an...

In this talk, I will discuss a possible symplectic version of Smale's conjecture on diffeomorphism groups. We will provide some evidence for it and suggest some preliminary questions about complex hyperbolic manifolds to explore. 

Given a linear equation whose principal term is given by a degenerate dispersive pseudo-differential operator, we provide a framework for the construction of degenerating wave packet solutions. As an application, we prove strong ill-posedness for...

The notion of strong stationarity was introduced by Furstenberg and Katznelson in the early 90's in order to facilitate the proof of the density Hales-Jewett theorem. It has recently surfaced that this strong statistical property is shared by...

Incidence bound for points and spheres in higher dimensions generally becomes trivial in higher dimensions due to the existence of the Lenz example consisting of two orthogonal circles in ${\Bbb R}^4$, and the corresponding construction in higher...

Suppose we are given matchings $M_1,....,M_N$ of size t in some r-uniform hypergraph, and let us think of each matching having a different color. How large does N need to be (in terms of t and r) such that we can always find a rainbow matching of...

Let X be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers. Let M be the moduli space of irreducible representations of the topological fundamental group of X of a fixed rank r. Then M is a finite type scheme over the spectrum of the integers Z...

Contact topology is the study of certain geometric structures on odd dimensional smooth manifolds. A contact structure is a hyperplane field specified by a one form which satisfies a nondegeneracy condition called maximal non-integrability. The...
