Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Motivic correlators and locally symmetric spaces
Alexander Goncharov
1:30pm|S-101

According to Langlands, pure motives are related to a certain class of automorphic representations.Can one see mixed motives in the automorphic set-up? For examples, can one see periods of mixed motives in entirely automorphic terms? The goal of...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Elementary open problems in Algebra (with consequences in computational complexity)
Avi Wigderson
10:30am

I will survey some elementary (to state!) problems on groups, matrices, and tensors, and discuss their motivations arising from several major problems in computational complexity theory. On each problem there was some exciting recent progress which...
