Special Seminar

Modulo $p$ representations of reductive $p$-adic groups: functorial properties
3:05pm|S-101

Let $F$ be a local field with finite residue characteristic $p$, let $C$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, and let $\mathbf G$ be a connected reductive $F$-group. With Abe, Henniart, Herzig, we classified irreducible admissible...

Homological Mirror Symmetry (Mini-Course)

Noncommutative geometry, smoothness, and Fukaya categories
10:45am|S-101

Noncommutative geometry, as advocated by Konstevich, proposes to replace the study of (commutative) varieties by the study of their (noncommutative) dg/A-infinity categories of perfect complexes. Conveniently, these techniques can then also be...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

$C^0$ Hamiltonian dynamics and a counterexample to the Arnold conjecture
3:10pm|S-101

After introducing Hamiltonian homeomorphisms and recalling some of their properties, I will focus on fixed point theory for this class of homeomorphisms. The main goal of this talk is to present the outlines of a $C^0$ counterexample to the Arnold...

Asymptotic representation theory over $\mathbb Z$
1:15pm|S-101

Representation theory over $\mathbb Z$ is famously intractable, but "representation stability" provides a way to get around these difficulties, at least asymptotically, by enlarging our groups until they behave more like commutative rings. Moreover...
