Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Derived structures controlling representations
Carl Wang-Erickson
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

The point of this talk is to give three examples of derived structures influencing representations that have connections with number theory. These structures arise from the differential graded algebra of group cochains valued in the endomorphism...

Global well-posedness and scattering for the radially symmetric cubic wave equation with a critical Sobolev norm
Benjamin Dodson
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

In this talk we discuss the cubic wave equation in three dimensions. In three dimensions the critical Sobolev exponent is 1/2. There is no known conserved quantity that controls this norm. We prove unconditional global well-posedness for radial...

Hodge theory: matrices and differential equations
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

Solutions to some differential equations are related to geometric structures on the underlying manifold. For instance certain hypergeometric equations are related to the uniformization of Riemann surfaces. I will start by recalling some classical...

Diffusion Process in the Three-Body Problem
1:30pm|Simonyi Hall Classroom 114

We consider the elliptic restricted three-body problem as a perturbation of the circular problem, with the perturbation parameter being the eccentricity of the orbits of the primaries. We show that for every suitably small, non-zero perturbation...
