How to detect a projective space?
In 1984, Robert Lazarsfeld solved an old conjecture of Remmert
and Van de Ven, which stated that there are no non-trivial complex
manifolds that can be covered by a projective space. His result was
a consequence of Shigefumi Mori's breakthrough...
Non-accumulation of periodic torus orbits
The "linearization" technique is a powerful method in
homogeneous dynamics to control the time a unipotent orbit spends
in the vicinity of a closed homogeneous subset. This method relies
on the polynomial nature of a unipotent flow and does not...
Harmonic maps into singular spaces
In the 90's, Gromov and Schoen introduced the theory of harmonic
maps into singular spaces, in particular Euclidean buildings, in
order to understand p-adic superrigidity. The study was quickly
generalized in a number of directions by a number of...
Hamiltonian pseudo-rotations of projective spaces.
1:30pm|Simonyi Hall Classroom 114
I will talk about Ginzburg and Gurel's work on Hamiltonian
pseudo-rotations of projective spaces, in particular, their proof
of no fixed point of a pseudo-rotation of projective space is
isolated as an invariant set.
Density and equidistribution of minimal hypersurfaces
I will outline the proof of density of minimal hypersurfaces
(Irie-Marques-Neves) and equidistribution of minimal hypersurfaces
(Marques-Neves-Song).
An invitation to tensor networks
Michael Walter
Tensor networks describe high-dimensional tensors as the
contraction of a network (or graph) of low-dimensional tensors.
Many interesting tensor can be succinctly represented in this
fashion -- from many-body ground states in quantum physics to
the...
Upper bounds on the Lagrangian spectral norm
We discuss recent developments in establishing uniform bounds on
the spectral norm and related invariants in the absolute and
relative settings. In particular, we describe new progress on a
conjecture of Viterbo asserting such bounds for exact...
Schubert polynomials via triangulations of flow polytopes
The flow polytope associated to an acyclic graph is the set of
all nonnegative flows on the edges of the graph with a fixed
netflow at each vertex. We will discuss a family of subdivisions of
flow polytopes and explain how they give rise to a family...
