Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Regularized Periods of Automorphic Forms
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214

Following Jacquet, Lapid and Rogawski, we define a regularized period of an automorphic form on GL(n+1) x GL(n) along the diagonal subgroup GL(n) and express it in terms of the Rankin-Selberg integral of Jacquet, Piatetski-Shapiro and Shalika. This...

Mathematical Conversations

Kozai-Lidov Oscillations
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

These are a curious and only recently appreciated phenomenon in celestial mechanics, in which (for example) a planet orbiting one member of a binary star system undergoes large, slow oscillations in its orbital eccentricity and inclination. I will...

High Dimensional Expanders and Ramanujan Complexes
Alex Lubotzky
10:30am|S-101

Expander graphs, in general, and Ramanujan graphs, in particular, have been objects of intensive research in the last four decades. Many application came out, initially to computer science and combinatorics and more recently also to pure mathematics...

Homological Mirror Symmetry
2:00pm|S-101

Mirror symmetry is a deep conjectural relationship between complex and symplectic geometry. It was first noticed by string theorists. Mathematicians became interested in it when string theorists used it to predict counts of curves on the quintic...
