Langevin Dynamics of Yang-Mills in 2D and 3D
Hao Shen
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

We will discuss stochastic quantization i.e. Langevin dynamic of the Yang-Mills model on two and three dimensional torus. This is described by a Lie algebra valued stochastic PDE driven by space-time white noise. We construct $(local)$ solution to...

Joint IAS/Princeton/Montreal/Paris/Tel-Aviv Symplectic Geometry Zoominar

Arnold Conjecture Over Integers
Shaoyun Bai
9:15am|Remote Access

We show that for any closed symlectic manifold, the number of 1-periodic orbits of any non-degenerate Hamiltonian is bounded from below by a version of total Betti number over Z, which takes account of torsions of all characteristics. The proof...

Regularity of Vortex and SQG Patches
3:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will review some recent progress on regularity properties of vortex and SQG patches. In particular, I will present an example of a vortex patch with continuous initial curvature that immediately becomes infinite but returns to $(C^2)$ class at all...

Bounds in the Inverse Theorem for the Gowers Norms (for Certain Groups)
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The inverse theorem for the Gowers U^{s+1}-norms has a central place in modern additive combinatorics, but all known proofs of it are difficult and most do not give effective bounds.

Over this seminar and the next, I will give an outline of a proof...

Special Year Research Seminar

On Furstenberg Systems for Some Aperiodic Multiplicative Functions
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The Chowla conjecture from 1965 predicts that all autocorrelations of the Liouville function vanish. In fact, after an adaptation, the Chowla conjecture was expected to hold for all aperiodic multiplicative functions with values in the unit disc (cf...

From Potential to Promise: Developing Scholars, One Eureka Moment at a Time
Rajiv Gandhi
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: At Rutgers University-Camden, the student body is quite diverse, with many first-generation college students and students from underrepresented minority groups. Our students face financial challenges - a significantly large fraction of...

Affine symmetric spaces and 2-torsion in the class group of unit-monogenized cubic fields
2:15pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: Davenport’s lemma has been a crucial ingredient in recent applications of geometry of numbers to arithmetic statistics. The lemma estimates, with error-term, the number of lattice points contained in bounded semi-algebraic regions of $...

Math, Finance & Decisions: Career Paths in Financial Services
Margaret Holen
11:45am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Abstract:  We face financial choices every day. From buying a morning coffee, to an online shopping errand in the afternoon, we are asked “Cash, Credit or Debit?” and “Pay Now or Later?”  We occasionally face bigger decisions, like whether to take...
