Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Burgess bounds for short character sums in new settings
Lillian Pierce
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214, Princeton University

In the late 1950’s, Burgess developed a novel method for bounding short sums of a multiplicative Dirichlet character. This resulted in a subconvexity bound for Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line. In recent work, we have adapted the Burgess...

Special Seminar

Approximate spectral theory in heterogeneous media, asymptotic ballistic transport, and beyond?
Antoine Gloria
3:30pm|Dilworth Room

In this talk I’ll consider the Schrödinger in heterogeneous media and shall discuss long-time transport properties of localized initial conditions, and more precisely the regime of asymptotic ballistic transport. To this aim I’ll introduce an...
