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

Exact orbifold fillings of contact manifolds
Fabio Gironella
9:15am|Remote Access

The topic of the talk will be Floer theories on exact symplectic orbifolds with smooth contact boundary. More precisely, I will first describe the construction, which only uses classical transversality techniques, of a symplectic cohomology group on...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Conditional approaches to sums of cubes
Victor Wang
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214, Princeton University and Remote Access

In 1986, Hooley applied (what practically amounts to) the general Langlands reciprocity (modularity) conjecture and GRH in a fresh new way, over certain families of cubic 3-folds. This eventually led to conditional near-optimal bounds for the number...

Mathematical Conversations

Noether's Theorem in the Calculus of Variations and Hyperbolic Manifolds
Karen Uhlenbeck
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

I will remind the audience of Noether’s theorem in the calculus of variations and give a little of the history. An elementary application to integrals of Lagrangians defined on functions with domain a hyperbolic surface will be given, ending with a...

Arithmetic Groups

Algebraicity/holonomicity theorems
Vesselin Dimitrov and Frank Calegari
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Let $f = \sum a_n x^n \in \mathbb Q[x]$ be a power series which is also a meromorphic function in some neighborhood of the origin. The subject of the talk will be how certain conditions on $f(x)$ as a meromorphic function actually guarantee that $f...
