Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Motivic correlators and locally symmetric spaces
1:30pm|S-101

According to Langlands, pure motives are related to a certain class of automorphic representations.Can one see mixed motives in the automorphic set-up? For examples, can one see periods of mixed motives in entirely automorphic terms? The goal of...

Transfer operators for (relative) functoriality "beyond endoscopy" I
1:45pm|West Building Lecture Hall

"Beyond endoscopy", broadly interpreted, is the idea that functoriality should be realized as a comparison between stable trace formulas. The nature of this comparison, however, remains completely unclear.Broadening our scope to include the relative...

Cohomology of arithmetic groups and Eisenstein series - an introduction
10:00am|Physics Library, Bloomberg Hall 201

I intend to cover some basic questions and material regarding the phenomena in the cohomology of an arithmetic group "at infinity" when the corresponding locally symmetric space originating with an algebraic $k$-group $G$ of positive $k$-rank is non...

A remark on cohomology of locally symmetric spaces
10:00am|Dilworth Room

Let $H = G/K$ be a symmetric space and $X = \Gamma \backslash H$ its locally symmetric quotient. An important problem is to understand the cohomology of the space $X$ (or, more or less equivalent, cohomology of the group $\Gamma$). The idea is that...

Automorphic forms and motivic cohomology I
1:45pm|S-101

In the lectures I will formulate a conjecture asserting that there is a hidden action of certain motivic cohomology groups on the cohomology of arithmetic groups. One can construct this action, tensored with $\mathbb C$, using differential forms...

Derived deformation rings for group representations
Søren Galatius
10:00am|Physics Library, Bloomberg Hall 201

It is well known that an irreducible representation of a group $G$ over a field $k$ admits a universal deformation to a representation over a complete Noetherian local ring, provided that it is absolutely irreducible, i.e. remains irreducible after...

Transfer operators between relative trace formulas in rank one
1:45pm|S-101

I will introduce a new paradigm for comparing relative trace formulas, in order to prove instances of (relative) functoriality and relations between periods of automorphic forms.More precisely, for a spherical variety $X=H\backslash G$ of rank one...

Working group on microlocal analysis and automorphic forms
10:00am|Physics Library, Bloomberg Hall 201

This will be an informal working group on aspects of microlocal analysis that are relevant to automorphic forms. We will try to study Archimedean zeta integrals (which are related to local L-functions) using tools from the geometric theory of...

Introduction to spherical varieties (1)

I will give a brief introduction to spherical varieties. With a view towards understanding the geometry of the moment map, I'll talk about the local structure theorem for spherical varieties. More concretely, if X is a spherical G-variety and B a...

The Ngô action via geometric Satake
David Ben Zvi
1:45pm|Simonyi Hall 101

I will explain an application of the geometric Satake correspondence (in its derived form due to Bezrukavnikov-Finkelberg) to the study of differential operators on $G$-spaces (for $G$ complex reductive) and its classical version, the study of...
