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...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Hodge Structures in Symplectic Geometry
4:30pm|S-101

I will explain how essential information about the structure of symplectic manifolds is captured by algebraic data, and specifically by the non-commutative (mixed) Hodge structure on the cohomology of the Fukaya category. I will discuss how mirror...

On the Instability for 2D Fluids
3:00pm|S-101

For 2D Euler equation, we prove a double exponential lower bound on the vorticity gradient. We will also discus some further results on the singularity formation for other models.

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Hodge Correlators, Hodge Symmetries, and Rankin-Selberg Integrals
4:30pm|Fine Hall -- 214

Rankin-Selberg integrals, among many other things they do, are the only way to prove that special values $L(f,n)$ of L-functions of weight $k$ modular forms on $GL_2(\mathbb Q)$, $n \geq k$, are periods. They pave the road to Beilinson’s motivic $...
