Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Bounds for character twists of L-functions
Paul Nelson
3:15pm|Simonyi Hall 101

The problem of bounding character twists of low-rank L-functions has been attacked using a variety techniques, including delta methods and analysis of period integral representations. I'll discuss this problem, emphasizing joint work with Roman...

Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Period mappings are definable in the o-minimal structure $mathbb{R}_{an,exp}$
Jacob Tsimerman
1:45pm|Simonyi Hall 101

(joint w. Ben Bakker) Period spaces are quotients of period domains by arithmetic groups that parametrize hodge structures. These are typically complex-analytic orbifolds, but in most cases cannot be equipped with an algebraic structure. As a...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Abstract Convexity, Weak Epsilon-Nets, and Radon Number
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101

Let F be a family of subsets over a domain X that is closed under taking intersections. Such structures are abundant in various fields of mathematics such as topology, algebra, analysis, and more. In this talk we will view these objects through the...

Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Concentration properties of automorphic forms and spherical varieties
10:00am|Dilworth Room

I will talk about some global questions on the concentration properties of automorphic forms that seem to be a natural environment in which to examine the interplay between the geometry and spectrum of spherical varieties, L-functions, and...

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...

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.
Rajiv Gandhi: "From...

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...
