Stability and Testability

Ultrametric stability problems
Francesco Fournier-Facio
11:00am|Remote Access

We study stability problems with respect to families of groups equipped with bi-invariant ultrametrics, that is, metrics satisfying the strong triangle inequality. This property has very strong consequences, and this form of stability behaves very...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Springer, Procesi and Cherednik
12:00pm|Virtual

The talk is based on a joint work with Pablo Boixeda Alvarez. We study equivariant Borel-Moore homology of certain affine Springer fibers and relate them to global sections of suitable vector bundles arising from Procesi bundles on Q-factorial...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Computational - Statistical gaps and the Group Testing problem
10:30am|Remote Access - see Zoom link below

In a plethora of random models for constraint satisfaction and statistical inference problems, researchers from different communities have observed computational gaps between what existential or brute-force methods promise, and what known efficient...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Flag manifolds over semifields I
10:30am|Virtual

The study of totally positive matrices, i.e., matrices with positive minors, dates back to 1930s. The theory was generalised by Lusztig to arbitrary split reductive groups using canonical bases, and has significant impacts on the theory of cluster...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

From Weyl modules to simple modules in many small steps
9:00am|Virtual

Let G be a semisimple group over an algebraically closed field of large characteristic. There are two important types of rational representations of G: the Weyl modules and the simple modules. We will explain how to go from the first type to the...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Modular perverse sheaves on symplectic singularities
5:00pm|Virtual

A symplectic singularity has a natural stratification by Poisson leaves, which are symplectic, hence even-dimensional.  Perverse sheaves constructible with respect to this stratification are semisimple if the coefficients are in characteristic zero...

Analysis Seminar

Mean-Field limits for Coulomb-type dynamics
Sylvia Serfaty
4:30pm|Remote Access

We consider a system of $N$ particles evolving according to the gradient flow of their Coulomb or Riesz interaction, or a similar conservative flow, and possible added random diffusion. By Riesz interaction, we mean inverse power $s$ of the distance...

Workshop on Representation Theory and Geometry

Smith theory and Langlands functoriality
3:30pm|Virtual

According to Langlands’ conjectures, algebraic automorphic forms should be parametrized by global Galois representations, and smooth representations of $p$-adic groups should be parametrized by local Galois representations. These parametrizations...
