How does the rank of an elliptic curve grow in towers of number fields?
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

On an elliptic curve $y^2=x^3+ax+b$, the points with coordinates $(x,y)$ in a given number field form a finitely generated abelian group. One natural question is how the rank of this group changes when changing the number field. For the simplest...

Dimension of the stationary measure for random matrix products in $SL_2(mathbb{R})$
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

I will describe joint work with Boris Solomyak, in which we show that the stationary (Furstenberg) measure on the projective line associated to 2x2 random matrix products has the "correct" dimension (entropy / Lyapunov exponent) provided that the...

Loops in hydrodynamic turbulence
1:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

An important question in hydrodynamic turbulence concerns the scaling proprties in the inertial range. Many years of experimental and computational work suggests---some would say, convincingly shows---that anomalous scaling prevails. If so, this...

The p-curvature conjecture in families
Ananth Shankar
5:00pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

The p-curvature conjecture is an analogue of the Hasse principle for arithmetic differential equations. I will discuss this conjecture in the context of families of algebraic varieties, and among other things, demonstrate a proof of the p-curvature...

Etale and crystalline companions
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Deligne's "Weil II" paper includes a far-reaching conjecture to the effect that for a smooth variety on a finite field of characteristic p, for any prime l distinct from p, l-adic representations of the etale fundamental group do not occur in...
