Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Bubbles and Onis
Urs Frauenfelder
4:30pm|S-101

This is joint work with Peter Albers. We study a Floer gradient equation on a very negative line bundle over a symplectic manifold. If the line bundle is negative enough there are generically no holomorphic spheres. We explain the metamorphosis of...

Spectral Factors in Endoscopic Transfer
4:30pm|S-101

This talk is based on some results for real groups used in Arthur's classification of global packets for classical groups. The setting is twisted endoscopy for a connected reductive algebraic group over the reals. There is a geometric transfer which...

Two-Point Problem for the Ideal Incompressible Fluid
2:30pm|S-101

Consider the flow of ideal incompressible fluid in a bounded 2-d domain $M$ (say, $M= 3DT^2$, the 2-d torus). In the Lagrange formulation, the flow is a geodesic $f_t$ on the group $SDif f(M)$ of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$ with respect...

Time-Space Tradeoffs in Resolution: Superpolynomial Lower Bounds for Superlinear Space
10:30am|S-101

For modern SAT solvers based on DPLL with clause learning, the two major bottlenecks are the time and memory used by the algorithm. This raises the question of whether this memory bottleneck is inherent to Resolution based approaches, or an artifact...

Towards Symplectic Algebraic Topology
2:00pm|S-101

Pseudo-holomorphic curves play a fundamental role in the study of symplectic manifolds. Compactness and gluing theorems allow to extract algebra out of analysis. The focus of this talk are certain invariants which are constructed using pseudo...
