Fukaya category for Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds and Berglund-Hübsch homological mirror symmetry for curve singularities
Cheol-Hyun Cho
9:15am|Remote Access

For a weighted homogeneous polynomial and a choice of a diagonal symmetry group, we define a new Fukaya category based on wrapped Fukaya category of its Milnor fiber together with monodromy information. It is analogous to the variation operator in...

Equivariant localization, parity sheaves, and cyclic base change
2:00pm|Remote Access

Lafforgue and Genestier-Lafforgue have constructed the global and (semisimplified) local Langlands correspondences for arbitrary reductive groups over function fields. I will explain some recently established properties of these correspondences...

Broué’s Abelian Defect Group Conjecture II
3:00pm|Remote Access Only

In this second talk about Broué’s Abelian Defect Group Conjecture, we will explain its geometric version in the case of finite groups of Lie type: the equivalence should be induced by the cohomology complex of Deligne-Lusztig varieties. This was...

Reeb dynamics in dimension 3 and broken book decompositions
Vincent Colin
9:15am|Remote Access

In a joint work with Pierre Dehornoy and Ana Rechtman, we prove that on a closed 3-manifold, every nondegenerate Reeb vector field is supported by a broken book decomposition. From this property, we deduce that in dimension 3 every nondegenerate...

An asymptotic version of the prime power conjecture for perfect difference sets
4:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A subset $D$ of a finite cyclic group $Z/mZ$ is called a "perfect difference set" if every nonzero element of $Z/mZ$ can be written uniquely as the difference of two elements of $D$. If such a set exists, then a simple counting argument shows that...
