A New Approach to Universality Limits Involving Orthogonal Polynomials
Doron Lubinsky
1:30pm|S-101

We present a new approach to some of the universality limits that arise in orthogonal polynomials. For example, we show that if w is a fixed weight positive a.e. in [-1,1], and w satisfies a Dini condition in some subinterval of (-1,1), then there...

Fundamental Lemma

On Geometric Stabilization
10:30am|West Building Lecture Theatre

I will continue the talk on October 20th. I will formulate the geometric interpretation of the stabilization of (a part) of the geometric side of the trace formula for Lie algebra. The SL(2) case will be discussed in some details.

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Intersection Complex on the Baily-Borel Compactification of Siegel Modular Variety
4:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 214

In this talk, I will explain how to compute the trace of a power of the Frobenius endomorphism on the intersection cohomology of the Baily-Borel compactification of a Siegel modular variety. The main tools are : - Kottwitz's calculation of the...

Random Geometry and SLE II
2:30pm|S-101

We introduce and construct the "AC geometry" from the Gaussian free field and use it to prove various facts about Schramm-Loewner evolutions.

Compactification of Moduli Spaces of Drinfeld's Shtukas
Ngo Dac Tuan
1:00pm|S-101

In Lafforgue's proof of the Langlands conjecture for GL(2) over a functional field, an important step is to compactify the moduli spaces of Drinfeld's shtukas. In this talk, I will present a new approach to this problem using the Geometric Invariant...
