Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

A new $p$-adic Maass-Shimura operator and supersingular Rankin-Selberg $p$-adic $L$-functions
Daniel Kriz
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214, Princeton University

We introduce a new $p$-adic Maass-Shimura operator acting on a space of "generalized $p$-adic modular forms" (extending Katz's notion of $p$-adic modular forms) defined on the $p$-adic (preperfectoid) universal cover of Shimura curves. Using this...

Special Mathematics Physics Seminar

An Introduction to Liouville Theory
Antti Kupiainen
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT) is an essential building block of Polyakov’s formulation of non critical string theory. Moreover, scaling limits of statistical mechanics models on random lattices (planar maps) are believed to be described by...
