Special Year Seminar II

A Reduction of the F-Conjecture
Angela Gibney
10:00am|Simonyi 101

The long-standing F-Conjecture asserts that there is a very simple description for the closed cone of effective curves on the moduli space M_{g,n}\bar of stable n-pointed curves of genus g as being determined by a finite collection of so-called F...

Connections to Schubert Calculus Learning Seminar

Enumerating Smooth-Like Permutations Via the Geometry of Schubert Varieties
Edward Richmond
3:30pm|Simonyi 101

In 1984, Ryan showed that any smooth Schubert variety in type A is an iterated fiber-bundle of Grassmannian varieties. Later, Haiman calculated the generating function for the number of smooth permutations (equivalently smooth Schubert varieties) of...

Special Year Seminar I

Combinatorics in Quantum K-theory Schubert Calculus
Cristian Lenart
2:00pm|Simonyi 101

I will discuss various applications of a combinatorial model for the (torus equivariant) quantum K-theory of flag manifolds G/B, called the quantum alcove model. This is a uniform model for all Lie types, based on Weyl group combinatorics. It first...

Joint IAS/PU Groups and Dynamics Seminar

Aspects of the large scale geometry of $\operatorname{Out}(F_n)$
Lee Mosher
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

The theory of hierarchically hyperbolic groups, due to Behrstock, Hagen, and Sisto, was developed by abstracting work of Masur and Minsky on mapping class groups. Study of the large scale geometry of the outer automorphism group $\operatorname{Out}...

Strongly compatible systems associated to abelian varieties
3:35pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field E ⊂ ℂ. We prove that, after replacing E by a finite extension, the action of Gal(Ē/E) on the ℓ‑adic Tate modules of A gives rise to a strongly compatible system of ℓ‑adic representations valued in the...

Coboundary Expansion Inside Chevalley High-Dimensional Expanders
Ryan O'Donnell
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In theoretical computer science, an increasingly important role is being played by sparse high-dimensional expanders (HDXs), of which we know two main constructions: "building" HDXs [Ballantine'00, ...] and "coset complex" HDXs [Kaufman--Oppenheim...

Local Persistence of Lagrangian Intersections
Rémi Leclercq
9:15am|Remote Access

Given a Lagrangian L, I will discuss the existence of a neighborhood W of L with the following property: for any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism f, if f(L) is contained inside W, then f(L) intersects L. On the one hand, for any symplectic manifold of...
