Lie algebras and homotopy theory
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

In this talk, I'll discuss the role that Lie algebras play in algebraic topology and motivate the development of a "homotopy coherent" version of the theory. I'll also explain an "equation-free" formulation of the classical theory of Lie algebras...

The Weyl bound for Dirichlet L-functions
Matthew Young
4:30pm|Princeton University, Fine 214

In the 1960's, Burgess proved a subconvexity bound for Dirichlet L-functions. However, the quality of this bound was not as strong, in terms of the conductor, as the classical Weyl bound for the Riemann zeta function. In a major breakthrough, Conrey...
