Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Arithmetic Study Behind Spectra of Quantum Interactions
Masato Wakayama
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Interaction models discussed here are the (asymmetric) quantum Rabi model (QRM), which describes the interaction between a photon and two-level atoms, and the non-commutative harmonic oscillator (NCHO). The latter can be considered as a covering...

Condensed Learning Seminar

Trace Class Maps and Nuclearity
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Introduce the notion of nuclear object in a symmetric monoidal stable ($\infty$-)category and discuss its properties. In particular, prove that if the monoidal unit is compact, then an object is dualizable if and only if it is compact and nuclear...

Scalar Curvature Rigidity of Polytopes
Simon Brendle
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A central theme in differential geometry involves studying Riemannian metrics satisfying various curvature positivity conditions. The weakest condition one can impose is the positivity of the scalar curvature. Inspired by Toponogov's triangle...

Hecke Algebras for P-Adic Groups and Explicit Local Langlands Correspondence
Yujie Xu
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

I will talk about several results on Hecke algebras attached to Bernstein blocks of (arbitrary) reductive p-adic groups, where we construct a local Langlands correspondence for these Bernstein blocks. Our techniques draw inspirations from the...

Mathematical Conversations

Permanent versus Determinant
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

The permanent and determinant are polynomial functions of the entries of a matrix, differing only in the signs of their monomials. Despite their apparent similarity, these polynomials play very different roles in mathematics and computer science...

Special Year Seminar

D-modules on the Fargues-Fontaine Curve
3:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Motivated by the desire to express in terms of de Rham data the pro-étale cohomology with non-trivial $\mathbb{Q}_p$-coefficients of rigid spaces $X$, defined over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ or $\mathbb{C}_p$, I will explain how to define D-modules on the...

Singularity Models in 3D Ricci Flow
Simon Brendle
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The Ricci flow is a natural evolution equation for Riemannian metrics on a given manifold. From the point of view of PDE, the Ricci flow is a system of linear parabolic equations, which can be viewed as the heat equation analogue of the Einstein...

Computing Greatest Common Divisors of Polynomials in Parallel
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Given two univariate polynomials, how does one compute their greatest common divisor (GCD)? This problem can be solved in polynomial time using the Euclidean algorithm, and even in quasi-linear time using a fast variant of the Euclidean algorithm...
