  • Sebastian Haney (Columbia University) :Open enumerative mirror symmetry for lines in the mirror quintic

    One of the earliest achievements of mirror symmetry was the prediction of genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants for the quintic threefold in terms...

Local-Global Principles and Effective Rates of Equidistribution For Semisimple Orbits
Andreas Wieser
3:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

We prove an effective equidistribution theorem for semisimple
closed orbits on compact adelic quotients. The obtained error depends
polynomially on the minimal complexity of intermediate orbits and the
complexity of the ambient space. As an application...

Special Year Seminar II

Tits's Dream: Buildings Over F1 and Combinatorial Flag Varieties
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The theme of the third lecture is the notion of points over F1, the field with one element. Several heuristic computations led to certain expectations on the set of F1-points: for example the Euler characteristic of a smooth projective complex...

Foundations of Matroids
10:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The second lecture features the nuts and bolts of the invariants from first lecture, which we call foundations. We explain the structure theorem for foundations of ternary matroids, which is rooted in Tutte's homotopy theorem. We show how this...

Characterizations of Einstein Manifolds through Analysis on Path Space
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

The Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold is best viewed as the right replacement for the (nonlinear) laplacian of the metric g, which in particular explains why it so often appears in geometry and analysis.  Most commonly one studies either...

The Moduli Space of Matroids
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Lecture Series Framework:  A unifying framework for F1-geometry, tropical schemes and matroid theory. In this series of 3 lectures, I will present a recent approach towards F1-geometry and its links to tropical geometry, matroid theory, Lorentzian...

Furstenberg Entropy Spectrum of Stationary Actions
Tianyi Zheng
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

In this talk we will discuss some aspects of the question: given a group, what is the range of Furstenberg entropy of ergodic stationary actions of it? For the special linear group and its lattices, constraints on this spectrum come from Nevo-Zimmer...

Absolute Continuity of the Robin Harmonic Measure On Rough Domains
Guy David
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The question of asbolute continuity, with respect to the reference measure, of the harmonic measure on a domain with rough boundary has been the object of many important results. Here we ask about the similar question, but where the Dirichlet...
