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 Number Theory Seminar

Integral points on moduli schemes and Thue equations
4:30pm|Fine 214, Princeton University

We will explain a way how one can use moduli schemes and their natural forgetful maps in the study of certain classical Diophantine problems (e.g. finding all integral points on hyperbolic curves). To illustrate and motivate the strategy, we...

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...

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...
