A converse to a theorem of Gross--Zagier, Kolyvagin and Rubin, II
4:45pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Let $E$ be a CM elliptic curve over a totally real number field $F$ and $p$ an odd ordinary prime. If the ${p^{\infty}\mbox{-}\mathrm{Selmer}}$ group of $E$ over $F$ has ${\mathbb{Z}_{p}\mbox{-}\mathrm{corank}}$ one, we show that the analytic rank...

Birational Calabi-Yau manifolds have the same small quantum products
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We show that any two birational projective Calabi-Yau manifolds have isomorphic small quantum cohomology algebras after a certain change of Novikov rings. The key tool used is a version of an algebra called symplectic cohomology, which is...

Ax-Schanuel results for Shimura varieties
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214, Princeton University

I will describe recent work with Ngaiming Mok and Jacob Tsimerman giving analogues of "Ax-Schanuel" for Shimura varieties. I will sketch the role of "o-minimal structures" in the proof, in particular point counting and powerful algebraicity results...

Algorithms for the topology of arithmetic groups and Hecke actions II
4:45pm|Simonyi Hall 101

At the November workshop, I described a new algorithm to cover compact, congruence locally symmetric spaces by balls. I’ll discuss how to compute the nerve of such a covering and Hecke actions on its cohomology. Joint work with Aurel Page.At the...

Mirror spaces from formal deformation of Lagrangians and their gluing
Hansol Hong
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

For given a Lagrangian in a symplectic manifold, one can consider deformation of A-infinity algebra structures on its Floer complex by degree 1 elements satisfying the Maurer-Cartan equation. The space of such degree 1 elements can be thought of as...

Mod $p$ points on Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214, Princeton University

The Langlands-Rapoport conjecture gives a description of the mod $p$ points of suitable integral models of Shimura varieties. Such results are of use, for example, in computing the local factor of the (semi-simple) Hasse-Weil zeta function of the...
