Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Explicit formulae for Stark Units and Hilbert's 12th problem
Samit Dasgupta
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Hilbert’s 12th problem is to provide explicit analytic formulae for elements generating the maximal abelian extension of a given number field. In this talk I will describe an approach to Hilbert’s 12th that involves proving exact p-adic formulae for...

Mathematical Conversations

Stirring efficiently
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

I will consider a very simple open problem in the theory of ODEs and give a brief overview on what is known about it. The problem is also an excuse to talk about a widely open subject in modern PDEs.

Informal Group Action Seminar

Thin groups and their dynamics
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Thin groups are finitely generated, infinite index subgroups of arithmetic lattices in Lie groups. Interesting examples come from monodromies of families of algebraic manifolds and in these cases, the "thinness" of monodromy is explained by special...
