Geometric Langlands Duality

Whittaker Patterns in Global Unramified and Local Tamely Ramified Theories
10:00am|S-101

I will discuss some aspects of the proof of (most of) the unramified geometric Langlands duality conjecture for GL(n) by Gaitsgory (based on his work with Frenkel, Vilonen etc), and also the work in the direction of local tamely ramified duality.

Special Seminar

Quantum Cohomology of Real Varieities
Ozgur Ceyhan
3:00pm|S-101

Very recently, J.Y. Welschinger introduced a set of invariants for real varieties that give lower bounds on the number of real algebraic curves satisfying certain incidence relations. After J. Solomon's homological interpretation, these invariants...

Mini-Course

Inverse Theorems and Random Matrices
2:00pm|S-101

It is an introduction to the topic. We would present several inverse theorems in additive number theory (starting with Freiman's) and some overview about their applications. Next, we discuss the connection between some of these and problems...

Mini-Course

Sum-Products Estimates and Applications
2:00pm|S-101

It is an introduction to the topic. We would present a proof of the quantitative sum-product in F^p and the proof of the exponential sum bound + an overview of what's around.
