Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Open-Closed Gromov-Witten Invariants of Toric Calabi-Yau 3-Orbifolds
Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu
4:30pm|S-101

We study open-closed orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds with respect to Lagrangian branes of Aganagic-Vafa type. We prove an open mirror theorem which expresses generating functions of orbifold disk invariants in terms...

Nonlinear Long-Range Resonant Scattering and Kink Dynamics
Avy Soffer
3:15pm|S-101

We study the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, in one dimension, with a qudratic term and variable coefficient qubic term. This equation arises from the asymptotic stability theory of the kink solution.Our main result is the global existence and...

Monodromy and Arithmetic Groups
T. N. Venkataramana
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214

Monodromy groups arise naturally in algebraic geometry and in differential equations, and often preserve an integral lattice. It is of interest to know whether the monodromy groups are arithmetic or thin. In this talk we review the Deligne-Mostow...

Checking Mathematical Proofs With a Computer
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

Black (or white) board is probably one of the most precious companions to many mathematicians. However, computers now also play an increasing role in the everyday activity of a researcher in mathematics: for typesetting articles, for testing...
