The classical conjectures of Ramanujan-Petersson and Sato-Tate on the Fourier coefficients of modular forms, or more generally on the Satake parameters of automorphic representations, are highly sensitive to questions of functoriality. For example...

Rankin-Selberg integrals provide factorization of certain period integrals into local counterparts. Other, more elusive, periods can be studied in principle by the relative trace formula and other methods.

Following Waldspurger, Ichino-Ikeda...

We will discuss a model of distributed learning in the spirit of Yao's communication complexity model. We consider a two-party setting, where each of the players gets a list of labelled examples and they communicate in order to jointly perform a...

I will discuss Knop's paper generalizing Harish-Chandra's isomorphism for the center of the universal enveloping algebra to the setting of spherical varieties. Here the center is replaced by the algebra of invariant differential operators. The idea...

Let $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic vector space which is closed, oriented and spin. Using virtual fundamental chains of moduli spaces of nonconstant pseudo-holomorphic disks with boundaries on $L$, one can define a Maurer-Cartan...

I will survey what is known about the construction of (the building blocks of) representations of p-adic groups, mention recent developments, and explain some of the concepts underlying all constructions. In particular, I will introduce filtrations...

The hypergraph regularity lemma — the extension of Szemeredi's graph regularity lemma to the setting of k-graphs — is one of the most celebrated combinatorial results obtained in the past decade. By now there are various (very different) proofs of...

Conventional wisdom in deep learning states that increasing depth improves expressiveness but complicates optimization. In this talk I will argue that, sometimes, increasing depth can speed up optimization.

The effect of depth on optimization is...
