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

The mod $p$ derived spherical Hecke algebra: structure and applications
Niccolò Ronchetti
2:30pm|S-101

Abstract: I will introduce the mod p derived spherical Hecke algebra of a p-adic group, and discuss its structure via a derived version of the Satake homomorphism. Then, I will survey some speculations about its action on the cohomology of...

Theoretical Machine Learning Seminar

Naturalizing a programming language
12:30pm

Our goal is to create a convenient natural language interface for performing well-specified but complex actions such as analyzing data, manipulating text, and querying databases. However, existing natural language interfaces for such tasks are quite...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Language edit distance, $(min,+)$-matrix multiplication & beyond
Barna Saha
11:00am

The language edit distance is a significant generalization of two basic problems in computer science: parsing and string edit distance computation. Given any context free grammar, it computes the minimum number of insertions, deletions and...

Special Seminar

Introduction to works of Takuro Mochizuki
2:00pm|S-101

I will give examples and motivations, about the local systems/Higgs bundles correspondence, the case of variations of Hodge structures and the case of irregular singularities. I hope this will help to enjoy the forthcoming lectures of T. Mochizuki...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

On the notion of genus for division algebras and algebraic groups
Andrei Rapinchuk
4:30pm|S-101

Let $D$ be a central division algebra of degree $n$ over a field $K$. One defines the genus gen$(D)$ of $D$ as the set of classes $[D']$ in the Brauer group Br$(K)$ where $D'$ is a central division $K$-algebra of degree $n$ having the same...
