Singularity formation for some incompressible Euler flows
Tarek Elgindi
3:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We describe a recent construction of self-similar blow-up solutions of the incompressible Euler equation. A consequence of the construction is that there exist finite-energy $C^{1,a}$ solutions to the Euler equation which develop a singularity in...

Singularities in reductions of Shimura varieties
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

The singularities in the reduction modulo $p$ of the modular curve $Y_0(p)$ are visualized by the famous picture of two curves meeting transversally at the supersingular points. It is a fundamental question to understand the singularities which...

The geometry of constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean space.
Giuseppe Tinaglia
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

In this talk I will begin by reviewing classical geometric properties of constant mean curvature surfaces, H>0, in R^3. I will then talk about several more recent results for surfaces embedded in R^3 with constant mean curvature, such as curvature...

Nearby cycles for parity sheaves and the affine Hecke category
Laura Rider
5:00pm|Princeton University, Fine 314

Achar recently introduced a "nearby cycles formalism" in the framework of chain complexes of parity sheaves. In this talk, I'll explain joint work with Achar in which we compute the output of this functor in two related settings. The first is affine...

Jensen–Polya Program for the Riemann Hypothesis and Related Problems
4:30pm|Princeton University, Fine 214

In 1927 Polya proved that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials for Riemann’s Xi-function. This hyperbolicity had only been proved for degrees d=1,2,3. We prove the hyperbolicity of all (but possibly...

Infinite solutions of the singular Yamabe problem in spheres via Teichmüller theory
Paolo Piccione
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

I will discuss a proof of the existence of infinitely many solutions for the singular Yamabe problem in spheres using bifurcation theory and the spectral theory of hyperbolic surfaces.
