Deformed Harish-Chandra Homorphism for the Cyclic Quiver
2:00pm|S-101

The rational degeneration of the double affine Hecke algebras associated to the Weyl group $W$ is a rational Cherednik algebra $H_W$ associated to $W$. Deformed Harish-Chandra homorphism is an analog of the Berstein-Beilinson localization for the...

Szemeredi's Regularity Lemma Revisited
Terry Tao
11:15am|S-101

Szemeredi's regularity lemma asserts, roughly speaking, that any large dense graph can be approximated to any specified accuracy by a much simpler "finite complexity" object; it has had many applications in graph theory, combinatorial number theory...

Some Aspects of the Theta Correspondence
Erez Lapid
11:00am|S-101

A celebrated result of Waldspurger provides a relation between Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms and the central value of L-functions of the associated Shimura lift (which is a modular form of integral weight). This has a...

Multiple Hurwitz Zeta Functions
Ram Murty
2:00pm|Fine Hall 314

After a brief review of the theory of multiple zeta values and zeta functions, we will discuss the multiple Hurwitz zeta function given by $$\zeta(s_1, s_2,..., s_r; x_1, x_2,..., x_r) = \sum_{n_1>n_2>\cdots >n_r\geq 1} {1 \over (n_1+x_1)^{s_1} (n_2...
