The last decade has witnessed a revolution in the circle of problems concerned with proving sharp moment inequalities for exponential sums on tori. This has in turn led to a better understanding of pointwise estimates, but this topic remains...

Robust sublinear expansion represents a fairly weak notion of graph expansion which still retains a number of useful properties of the classical notion. The general idea behind it has been introduced by Komlós and Szemerédi around 25 years ago and...

Let X/k be a smooth scheme over a perfect field k of characteristic p > 0 and let W be the Witt ring of k. Inspired by Drinfeld’s “stacky” approach to prismatic cohomology, Bhatt, Lurie, and others have shown that a lifting of X/k to W induces a...

Tree decompositions are a powerful tool in both structural graph theory and graph algorithms. Many hard problems become tractable if the input graph is known to have a tree decomposition of bounded “width”. Exhibiting a particular kind of a tree...

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...
