Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Symplectic Cohomolopgy and Loop Homology
1:30pm|Fine Hall 322

The string topology of Chas-Sullivan produces operations on the homology of the free loop space of orientable manifolds, and analogous structures are known to exist on the symplectic cohomology of their cotangent bundles. Work of Kragh has shown...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Compactifications of PEL-Type Shimura Varieties and Kuga Families with Ordinary Loci
4:30pm|S-101

I will report on the construction of p-integral models of various algebraic compactifications of PEL-type Shimura varieties and Kuga families, allowing ramification (including deep levels) at p, with good behaviors over the loci where certain...

Analysis Seminar

New Approximations of the Total Variation, and Filters in Image Processing
Haim Brezis
3:15pm|S-101

I will present new results concerning the approximation of the BV-norm by nonlocal, nonconvex, functionals. The original motivation comes from Image Processing. Numerous problems remain open. The talk is based on a joint work with H.-M. Nguyen.
