C^0 Limits of Hamiltonian Paths and Spectral Invariants
1:30pm|S-101

After reviewing spectral invariants, I will write down an estimate, which under certain assumptions, relates the spectral invariants of a Hamiltonian to the C^0-distance of its flow from the identity. I will also show that, unlike the Hofer norm...

A New Formulation of the Gross-Zagier Formula
4:30pm|S-101

In this talk, I will present a formulation of the Gross-Zagier formula over Shimura curves using automorphic representations with algebraic coefficients. It is a joint work with Shou-wu Zhang and Wei Zhang.

Fractal Iso-Contours of Passive Scalar in Smooth Random Flows
Marija Vucelja
4:30pm|A-06 Jadwin Hall, PU

We consider a passive scalar field under the action of pumping, diffusion and advection by a smooth flow with a Lagrangian chaos. We present theoretical arguments showing that scalar statistics is not conformal invariant and formulate new effective...

On the Rigidity of Black Holes
Sergiu Klainerman
2:30pm|S-101

The classical result on the uniqueness of black holes in GR, due to Hawking, which asserts that regular, stationary solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations must be isometric to an admissible black hole Kerr solution, has at its core a a highly...

The Mathematical Challenge of Large Networks
2:00pm|S-101

It is becoming more and more clear that many of the most exciting structures of our world can be described as large networks. The internet is perhaps the foremost example, modeled by different networks (the physical internet, a network of devices...
