Joint IAS/Princeton University Algebraic Geometry Seminar

Chow motives, L-functions, and powers of algebraic Hecke characters
Laure Flapan
5:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

The Langlands and Fontaine–Mazur conjectures in number theory describe when an automorphic representation f arises geometrically, meaning that there is a smooth projective variety X, or more generally a Chow motive M in the cohomology of X, such...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

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...
