Geometry/Dynamical Systems Seminar

Understanding Area Preserving Disk Maps Through Holomorphic Curves
4:00pm|S-101

Predicting the future for a Hamiltonian dynamical system is an old and notoriously difficult problem. I will present some evidence however that in the simplest situation where one iterates an area preserving map on the 2-disk, solutions to an...

A Classical Approximation Point of View on Some Results in the Spectral Theory of Jacobi Matrices
2:00pm|S-101

Deift--Simon and Poltoratskii--Remling proved upper bounds on the measure of the absolutely continuous spectrum of Jacobi matrices. Using methods of classical approximation theory, we give a new proof of their results, and generalize them in several...

Introduction to the Univalent Foundations of Mathematics

Univalent Foundations of Mathematics
11:00am|S-101

The correspondence between homotopy types and higher categorical analogs of groupoids which was first conjectured by Alexander Grothendieck naturally leads to a view of mathematics where sets are used to parametrize collections of objects without...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Parahoric Subgroups and Supercuspidal Representations of p-Adic groups
Dick Gross
4:30pm|S-101

This is a report on some joint work with Mark Reeder and Jiu-Kang Yu. I will review the theory of parahoric subgroups and consider the induced representation of a one-dimensional character of the pro-unipotent radical. A surprising fact is that this...

Galois Representations and Automorphic Forms Seminar

Vanishing Theorems for Torsion Automorphic Sheaves
2:15pm|S-101

In this talk, I will explain my joint work with Junecue Suh on when and why the cohomology of Shimura varieties (with nontrivial integral coefficients) has no torsion, based on certain new vanishing theorems we have proved. (All conditions involved...

Galois Representations and Automorphic Forms Seminar

On Families of Filtered phi Modules and Crystalline Representations
Eugen Hellmann
2:15pm|S-101

We study families of filtered phi-modules associated to families of p-adic Galois representations as considered by Berger and Colmez. We show that the weakly admissible locus in a family of filtered phi-modules is open and that the groupoid of...

Members’ Seminar

Shimura Varieties and the Bernstein Center
Tom Haines
2:00pm|S-101

The local Langlands conjecture (LLC) seeks to parametrize irreducible smooth representations of a p-adic group G in terms of Weil-Deligne parameters. Bernstein's theory describes the category of smooth representations of G in terms of points on a...
