Geometric and Modular Representation Theory Seminar

Introduction to Smith theory
Tony Feng
3:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Smith theory is a type of equivariant localization with respect to a cyclic group of prime order $p$, with coefficients in a field of the same characteristic $p$. It has been the source of various recent advances in modular representation theory and...

Analysis Seminar

The ground state energy of dilute Bose gases
Soeren Fournais
4:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The rigorous calculation of the ground state energy of dilute Bose gases has been a challenging problem since the 1950s. In particular, it is of interest to understand the extent to which the Bogoliubov pairing theory correctly describes the ground...
