Eigenfunction concentration via geodesic beams
A vast array of physical phenomena, ranging from the propagation
of waves to the location of quantum particles, is dictated by the
behavior of Laplace eigenfunctions. Because of this, it is crucial
to understand how various measures of eigenfunction...
Caustics of Lagrangian homotopy spheres with stably trivial Gauss map
The h-principle for the simplification of caustics (i.e.
Lagrangian tangencies) reduces a geometric problem to a homotopical
problem. In this talk I will explain the solution to this
homotopical problem in the case of spheres. More precisely, I
will...
I will discuss recent work with Harald Helfgott in which we
establish roughly speaking that the graph connecting $n$ to $n \pm
p$ with $p$ a prime dividing $n$ is almost "locally Ramanujan". As
a result we obtain improvements of results of Tao and...
Kazhdan-Lusztig equivalence
The talk introduces the Kazhdan-Lusztig equivalence between the
Kazhdan-Lusztig category of representations of affine algebra and
category of modules over the quantum group.
Symmetries in symbolic dynamics
Bryna Kra
Originating in the work of Hadamard in the 1890’s on the coding
of geodesic flow, symbolic dynamics has become a key tool for
studying topological, smooth, and measurable dynamical systems. The
automorphism group of a symbolic system capture its...
Frobenius exact symmetric tensor categories
3:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access
I will report on a joint work in progress with K. Coulembier and
V. Ostrik. We show that a symmetric tensor category in
characteristic $p > 0$ admits a fiber functor to the Verlinde
category (semisimplification of $Rep(Z/p)$) if and only if it
has...
Interview with Dr. Monica Vazirani
Monica Vazirani
Dr. Monica Vazirani is a professor at UC Davis. She
received her PhD from UC Berkeley in 1999, after which she had an
NSF postdoc she spent at UC San Diego and UC Berkeley, as well as
postdoctoral positions at MSRI and Caltech. Dr.
Vazirani's...
Automorphic gluing functor in Betti geometric Langlands
I'll discuss joint work with Zhiwei Yun constructing a natural
functor from the automorphic category of a nodal curve to the
automorphic category of a smoothing. The results depend on the
microlocal geometry of sheaves with nilpotent singular...
