Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Double covers of tori and the local Langlands correspondence
5:00pm|Virtual

Given a maximal torus $T$ of a connected reductive group $G$ over a local field $F$, there does not exist a canonical embedding of the L-group of $T$ into the L-group of $G$. Generalizing work of Adams and Vogan in the case $F=R$, we will construct...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Lax 2-tensor constructions
3:30pm|Virtual

In joint work with Andy Manion, we required a generalization of the tensor product of 2-representations in order to reconstruct the 2-dimensional part of Lipshitz-Oszvath-Szabo’s bordered Heegaard-Floer theory. I will discuss this and possible...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Representations of p-adic groups
2:00pm|Virtual

The Langlands program is a far-reaching collection of conjectures that relate different areas of mathematics including number theory and representation theory. A fundamental problem on the representation theory side of the local Langlands program is...

Workshop on Topology: Identifying Order in Complex Systems

The missing link
2:00pm|Remote Access

Links of strata in singular spaces are fundamental invariants which govern the topology of small neighbourhoods around points in those strata. This talk will focus on inferring links of strata from incomplete information in three completely...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Eisenstein series, p-adic deformations, Galois representations, and the group G_2
Sam Mundy
4:30pm|Remote Access

I will explain some recent work on special cases of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for the symmetric cube of certain modular Galois representations. Under certain standard conjectures, this work constructs nontrivial elements in the Selmer groups of...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Stokes phenomena, Poisson-Lie groups and quantum groups
12:00pm|Virtual

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, $G^*$ its dual Poisson-Lie group, and $g$ the Lie algebra of $G$. $G$-valued Stokes phenomena were exploited by P. Boalch to linearise the Poisson structure on $G^*$. I will explain how $Ug$-valued Stokes...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Approximating tilting modules
10:30am|Virtual

Using the arithmetics of quantum numbers we construct some “approximations” of tilting modules for reductive algebraic groups that might be useful for understanding the generational patterns of tilting characters conjectured by Lusztig and...
