Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

On the Geometry and Arithmetic of Non-Spherical Maass Forms
3:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Central predictions of arithmetic quantum chaos such as the Quantum Unique Ergodicity conjecture and the sup-norm problem ask about the mass distribution of automorphic forms, most classically in terms of their weight or Laplace eigenvalue (for...

Special Year Seminar II

Equivariant Rigidity of Richardson Varieties
Anders Buch
10:00am|Simonyi 101

I will show that any Schubert or Richardson variety R in a flag manifold G/P is equivariantly rigid and convex. Equivariantly rigid means that R is uniquely determined by its equivariant cohomology class, and convex means that R contains any torus...

Special Year Seminar I

Spherical Roots of Spherical Varieties
2:00pm|Simonyi 101

We describe three constructions of spherical roots of spherical varieties via embddings, Borel orbits, and harmonic analysis, and give a hint for why they yield the same results. Then we describe more recent extensions of this theory to arbitrary G...

Thurston Elements in the Mapping Class Group.
Joseph Maher
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

Thurston gave an explicit construction of pseudo-Anosov elements 
in the mapping class group of a compact surface, using Dehn twists in 
pairs of filling multicurves.  We show that the probability that a random 
walk of length $n$ on the mapping class...

Min-Max Construction of Anisotropic Minimal Hypersurfaces
Guido De Philippis
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We use the min-max construction to find closed hypersurfaces which are stationary with respect to anisotropic elliptic integrands in any closed n-dimensional manifold . These surfaces are regular outside a closed set of zero n-3 dimension. The...
