Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Higher ribbon graphs
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Ribbon graphs capture the topology of open Riemann surfaces in an elementary combinatorial form. One can hope this is the first step toward a general theory for open symplectic manifolds such as Stein manifolds. We will discuss progress toward such...

Members’ Seminar

Math for underprivileged high school kids
Rajiv Gandhi, Dan Zaharopol
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We will hear from two passionate creators of successful mentoring programs in math for high school kids in educationally challenged environments. They will give back-to-back talks about their experiences and educational insights.

Workshop on Representation Theory and Analysis on Locally Symmetric Spaces

Endoscopy and cohomology growth on unitary groups
Simon Marshall
1:30pm

Abstract: One of the principles of the endoscopic classification is that if an automorphic representation of a classical group is non-tempered at any place, then it should arise as a transfer from an endoscopic subgroup. One also knows that any...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Boolean function analysis: beyond the Boolean cube (continued)
10:30am|West Building Lecture Hall

Boolean function analysis traditionally studies Boolean functions on the Boolean cube, using Fourier analysis on the group Z_2^n. Other domains of interest include the biased Boolean cube, other abelian groups, and Gaussian space. In all cases, the...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Floer cohomology and Maslov flow
Chris Woodward
4:00pm|Fine Hall 322, Princeton University

(Joint work with J. Palmer) Suppose that $\phi_t: L \to X, t \in [0,T]$ is a family of Lagrangian immersions flowing under a Maslov flow such as a reverse mean curvature flow, or reverse mean curvature flow coupled to a K\"ahler-Ricci flow as...
