Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Analytical Approach to Parallel Repetition
Irit Dinur
11:15am|S-101

We propose an “analytical” framework for studying parallel repetitions of one-round two-prover games. We define a new relaxation of the value of a game, val+, and prove that it is both multiplicative and a good approximation for the true value of...

Mathematical Conversations

Zeros of Zeta Functions and the Riemann Hypothesis
Anders Sodergren
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

In this talk I will present some old and new results on zeros of zeta functions. In particular, I will discuss the at first sight shocking result that there are plenty of zeta functions for which the Riemann hypothesis is false.

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.

Analysis Seminar

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...
