Working Seminar on Representation Theory

Cocenters and representations of affine Hecke algebras
2:00pm

It is known that the number of conjugacy classes of a finite group equals the number of irreducible representations (over complex numbers). The conjugacy classes of a finite group give a natural basis of the cocenter of its group algebra. Thus the...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

The subconvexity problem
5:00pm

The importance of the subconvexity problem is well-known. In this talk, I will discuss a new approach to establish subconvex bounds for automorphic L-functions. The method is based on adopting the circle method to separate oscillatory factors...

Marston Morse Lectures

Folding papers and turbulent flows
3:30pm|S-101

In the fifties John Nash astonished the geometers with his celebrated isometric embedding theorems. A folkloristic explanation of his first theorem is that you should be able to put any piece of paper in your pocket without crumpling or folding it...

Mathematical Conversations

A "geometric group theory" for homeomorphisms groups?
Frédéric Le Roux
6:00pm

I propose to discuss classical geometric group theory, and its potential extension to homeomorphisms groups suggested recently by Kathryn Mann and Christian Rosendal.

Analysis/Mathematical Physics Seminar

Singularity formation in incompressible fluids
Tarek Elgindi
1:30pm

We discuss the problem of singularity formation for some of the basic equations of incompressible fluid mechanics such as the incompressible Euler equation and the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation. We begin by going over some of the...
