Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Joint equidistribution of CM points
4:45pm|S-101

A celebrated theorem of Duke states that Picard/Galois orbits of CM points on a complex modular curve equidistribute in the limit when the absolute value of the discriminant goes to infinity. The equidistribution of Picard and Galois orbits of...

Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Automorphic forms and motivic cohomology II
1:45pm|S-101

In the lectures I will formulate a conjecture asserting that there is a hidden action of certain motivic cohomology groups on the cohomology of arithmetic groups. One can construct this action, tensored with $\mathbb C$, using differential forms...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

A practical guide to deep learning
10:30am|S-101

Neural networks have been around for many decades. An important question is what has led to their recent surge in performance and popularity. I will start with an introduction to deep neural networks, covering the terminology and standard approaches...

How to modify the Langlands' dual group
3:15pm|S-101

Let $\mathcal G$ be a split reductive group over a $p$-adic field $F$, and $G$ the group of its $F$-points.The main insight of the local Langlands program is that to every irreducible smooth representation $(\rho, G, V )$ should correspond a...

Representations of Kauffman bracket skein algebras of a surface
2:00pm|S-101

The definition of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of an oriented surface was originally motivated by the Jones polynomial invariant of knots and links in space, and a representation of the skein algebra features in Witten's topological quantum...

Wild harmonic bundles and related topics II
2:00pm|S-101

Harmonic bundles are flat bundles equipped with a pluri-harmonic metric. They are very useful in the study of flat bundles on complex projective manifolds. Indeed, according to the fundamental theorem of Corlette, any semisimple flat bundle on a...
