Time quasi-periodic gravity water waves in finite depth
Massimiliano Berti
2:30pm|West Building Lecture Hall

We prove the existence and the linear stability of Cantor families of small amplitude time quasi-periodic standing water waves solutions, namely periodic and even in the space variable $x$, of a bi-dimensional ocean with finite depth under the...

Workshop on Motives, Galois Representations and Cohomology around the Langlands Program

A derived Hecke algebra in the context of the mod $p$ Langlands program
Rachel Ollivier
2:30pm|S-101

Abstract: Given a p-adic reductive group G and its (pro-p) Iwahori-Hecke algebra H, we are interested in the link between the category of smooth representations of G and the category of H-modules. When the field of coefficients has characteristic...

Workshop on Motives, Galois Representations and Cohomology around the Langlands Program

Topological and arithmetic intersection numbers attached to real quadratic cycles
Henri Darmon
10:00am|S-101

Abstract: I will discuss a recent conjecture formulated in an ongoing project with Jan Vonk relating the intersection numbers of one-dimensional topological cycles on certain Shimura curves to the arithmetic intersections of associated real...

Modularity lifting theorems for non-regular symplectic representations
George Boxer
11:30am|S-101

Abstract: We prove an ordinary modularity lifting theorem for certain non-regular 4-dimensional symplectic representations over totally real fields. The argument uses both higher Hida theory and the Calegari-Geraghty version of the Taylor-Wiles...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Pseudorandom generators for unordered branching programs
10:30am

We present an explicit pseudorandom generator with seed length $\tilde{O}((\log n)^{w+1})$ for read-once, oblivious, width $w$ branching programs that can read their input bits in any order. This improves upon the work of Impaggliazzo, Meka and...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Morse-Bott cohomology from homological perturbation
4:00pm

Abstract: In this talk, I will give a new construction of the Morse-Bott cochain complex, where the underlying vector space is generated by the cohomology of the critical manifolds. This new construction has two nice features: (1) It requires the...
