The braid group on n strands may be viewed as an infinite analog of the symmetric group on n elements with additional topological phenomena. It appears in several areas of mathematics, physics and computer sciences, including knot theory, algebraic...

This workshop was part of the topical program "Symplectic Dynamics" which took place during the academic year 2011-2012 at the Institute for Advanced Study. The workshop focused on fluid dynamics and infinite-dimensional...

A conjecture of Langlands-Rapoport predicts the structure of the mod p points on a Shimura variety. The conjecture forms part of Langlands' program to understand the zeta function of a Shimura variety in terms of automorphic L-functions. I will...

Both of these talks will be useful preparation for Helmut Hofer's up coming mini-course on polyfold theory on April 4th and 5th.

Computation of cycles representing classes of homology groups is a fundamental problem arising in applications such as parameterization, feature identification, topology simplification, and data analysis. Variations of the classical Smith Normal...
