Torsion in the coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties and Galois representations
George Boxer
4:30pm|S-101

In this talk we will explain how to attach Galois representations to certain Hecke eigenforms in the coherent cohomology of good reduction Shimura varieties. As an application we will give a new proof of cases of a recent theorem of Scholze...

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

Nonlinear Brownian motion and nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula of path-functions
Shige Peng
2:00pm|S-101

We consider a typical situation in which probability model itself has non-negligible cumulated uncertainty. A new concept of nonlinear expectation and the corresponding non-linear distributions has been systematically investigated: cumulated...

Goncharov Reading Group

To Be Announced
10:00am|S-114

The Goncharov reading group is an informal seminar which will read the paper "Volumes of hyperbolic manifolds and mixed Tate motives" and related materials. We will meet on Wednesdays at 10 am in Simonyi 114.

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

Free entropy
Philippe Biane
2:00pm|S-101

Free entropy is a quantity introduced 20 years ago by D. Voiculescu in order to investigate noncommutative probability spaces (e.g. von Neumann algebras). It is based on approximation by finite size matrices. I will describe the definition and main...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Results and open problems in theory of quantum complexity
10:30am|S-101

I will survey recent results and open problems in several areas of quantum complexity theory, with emphasis on open problems which can be phrased in terms of classical complexity theory or mathematics but have implications for quantum computing: 1...

A transition formula for mean values of Dirichlet polynomials
3:30pm|S-101

Let \[ f(t)=\sum_{N n 2N}a_nn^{-it} \] be a Dirichlet polynomial. We consider the weighted square mean value \[ I=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|f(t)|^2\exp\{-\Delta^{-2}(t-T)^2\}\,dt, \] where \(T\) is a large paremeter and \[ \Delta = \frac{T}{\log T}...

A Riemann-Roch theorem in Bott-Chern cohomology
2:00pm|S-101

If \(M\) is a complex manifold, the Bott-Chern cohomology \(H_{\mathrm{BC}}^{(\cdot,\cdot)}\left(M,\mathbf{C}\right)\) of \(M\) is a refinement of de Rham cohomology, that takes into account the \((p,q)\) grading of smooth differential forms. By...

True Randomness: Its Origin and Expansion
Yaoyun Shi
11:15am|S-101

How can we produce randomness of almost perfect quality, in large quantities, and under minimal assumptions? This question is fundamental not only to modern day information processing but also to physics. Yet a satisfactory answer is still elusive...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Epipelagic representations and rigid local systems
4:30pm|Fine 214, Princeton University

Reeder and Yu have constructed in a uniform way certain supercuspidal representations of \(p\)-adic groups called "epipelagic representations", using invariant theory studied by Vinberg et al. In the function field case, we will realize these...
