Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Construction of the Kuranishi Structure on the Moduli Space of Pseudo-Holomorphic Curves
1:30pm|S-101

To apply the technique of virtual fundamental cycle (chain) in the study of pseudo-holomorphic curve, we need to construct certain structure, which we call Kuranishi strucuture, on its moduli space. In this talk I want to review certain points of...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Symmetric Power Functoriality for GL(2)
Jack Thorne
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214

We will discuss some new automorphy lifting theorems for residually reducible Galois representations, and their application to proving new cases of symmetric power functoriality for elliptic modular forms. This is joint work with Laurent Clozel.

Hamiltonian Instability Driven by Recurrent Dynamics
3:15pm|S-101

We present some novel approaches to the instability problem of Hamiltonian systems (in particular, the Arnold Diffusion problem). We show that, under generic conditions, perturbations of geodesic flows by recurrent dynamics yield trajectories whose...

Univalent Foundations Final Seminar

Homotopy Theory in Type Theory
``The Homotopy Group'' ( (1) Guillaume Brunerie, (2) Dan Licata, (3) Peter Lumsdaine)
11:00am|S-101

In this general survey talk, we will describe an approach to doing homotopy theory within Univalent Foundations. Whereas classical homotopy theory may be described as "analytic", our approach is synthetic in the sense that, in ``homotopy type theory...

Solvability in Polynomials of Pell Equations in a Pencil and a Conjecture of Pink
2:00pm|S-101

The classical Pell equation $X^2-DY^2=1$, to be solved in integers $X,Y\neq 0$, has a variant for function fields (studied already by Abel), where now $D=D(t)$ is a complex polynomial of even degree and we seek solutions in nonzero complex...

Calibrations of Degree Two and Regularity Issues
Constante Bellettini
3:15pm|S-101

Calibrated currents naturally appear when dealing with several geometric questions, some aspects of which require a deep understanding of regularity properties of calibrated currents. We will review some of these issues, then focusing on the two...
