Conformally Invariant Fields out of Brownian Loop Soups
Wei Qian
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

For each central charge $c\in (0,1]$, we construct a conformally invariant field which is a measurable function of the local time field $\mathcal{L}$ of the Brownian loop soup with intensity $c$ and i.i.d. signs given to each cluster. This field is...

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

Periodic Orbits and Birkhoff Sections of Stable Hamiltonian Structures
Robert Cardona
9:15am|Remote Access

In this talk, we start by reviewing recent results on the dynamics of Reeb vector fields defined by contact forms on three-dimensional manifolds, and then introduce Reeb fields defined by stable Hamiltonian structures. These are more general and...

Quadratic Twists of Modular L-Functions
Xiannan Li
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The behavior of quadratic twists of modular L-functions is at the critical point is related both to coefficients of half integer weight modular forms and data on elliptic curves.  Here we describe a proof of an asymptotic for the second moment of...

Bi-Lipschitz Equivalence to the Euclidean Space
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

In dimension two, Urs Lang and Mario Bonk proved that a surface, homeomorphic to the plane, is bi-Lipschitz to the Euclidean space if its total Gauss curvature is smaller than that of the hemisphere. In this talk, I will explain what is known in...

Three Things About Polynomials
4:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will talk about three interesting ingredients that goes into the results on H\"{o}rmander type operators I presented at Princeton (joint with Shaoming Guo and Hong Wang). They are all related to algebraic or geometric properties of multivariate...

Harmonic Analysis Afternoon

A Fractal Uncertainty Principle for Discrete 2D Cantor Sets
Alex Cohen
3:15pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A fractal uncertainty principle (FUP) states that a function `f' and its Fourier transform cannot both be large on a fractal set. These were recently introduced by Semyon Dyatlov and collaborators in order to prove new results in quantum chaos. So...

Harmonic Analysis Afternoon

An Introduction to the Decoupling of Higher Dimensional, Zero Curvature Hypersurfaces
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The ruled hypersurfaces are distinguished by being comprised of lines. When this characteristic exists as a consequence of vanishing principal curvatures, it yields possibilities for comparison with cylinders extending over lower-dimensional...

Special Year Research Seminar

Products of Primes in Arithmetic Progressions
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A conjecture of Erdős states that for every large enough prime q, every reduced residue class modulo q is the product of two primes less than q. I will discuss my on-going work with Kaisa Matomäki establishing among other things a ternary variant of...
