Iwasawa main conjecture for supersingular elliptic curves
4:30pm|Fine 214, Princeton University

We will describe a new strategy to prove the plus-minus main conjecture for elliptic curves having good supersingular reduction at \(p\). It makes use of an ongoing work of Kings-Loeffler-Zerbes on explicit reciprocity laws for Beilinson-Flach...

Topology of Algebraic Varieties

Generic K3 categories and Hodge theory
3:30pm|S-101

In this talk I will focus on two examples of K3 categories: bounded derived categories of (twisted) coherent sheaves and K3 categories associated with smooth cubic fourfolds. The group of autoequivalences of the former has been intensively studied...

Topology of Algebraic Varieties

Hodge theory and derived categories of cubic fourfolds
2:00pm|S-101

Cubic fourfolds behave in many ways like K3 surfaces. Certain cubics - conjecturally, the ones that are rational - have specific K3s associated to them geometrically. Hassett has studied cubics with K3s associated to them at the level of Hodge...

Measures on spaces of Riemannian metrics
4:00pm|S-101

This is joint work with Y. Canzani, B. Clarke, N. Kamran, L. Silberman and J. Taylor. We construct Gaussian measure on the manifold of Riemannian metrics with the fixed volume form. We show that diameter and Laplace eigenvalue and volume entropy...
