Introduction to Differential Galois Theory
Differential Galois groups are algebraic groups that describe
symmetries of some systems of differential equations. The solutions
considered can live in any differential field and thus a natural
framework to consider such symmetries is the setting...
Effective Computations for Weakly Special Loci
In this talk, I will discuss some effective computations for
variations of integral Hodge structures.
Several years ago, with Ren and Javanpeykar-Kühne, I conjectured
(in the Shimura setting) that a variation has only finitely many
"non-factor"...
A Hodge structure is a certain linear algebraic datum.
Importantly, the cohomology groups of any smooth projective
algebraic variety come equipped with Hodge structures which encode
the integrals of algebraic differential forms over
topological...
Preparation and Point Counting in Sharply O-minimal Structures
Oded Carmon
I will describe recent work in progress on
logarithmic--exponential preparation theorems in analytically
generated sharply o-minimal structures. Our results imply the sharp
o-minimality of $\mathbb{R}_{\exp}$ as well as a uniform version of
Wilkie’s...
Intro to o-minimality and point-counting: Part II
I'll focus specifically on point counting results in o-minimal
structures. I'll start with the classical theorem of Pila and
Wilkie and move on to improved versions that only hold in the
"sharp" variant of o-minimality.
Extensions of Globally Valued Fields and Arithmetic Geometry
Globally valued fields form a generalisation of global fields
that fits into the context of first order (continuous) logic. I
will describe these structures, and outline how they are connected
to various parts of arithmetic geometry: Arakelov...
Intro to o-minimality and point-counting: Part I
I'll introduce o-minimality from a user's perspective assuming
zero background. I'll talk about some of the main examples of
o-minimal structures: as a user of o-minimality your first goal is
to find out whether your favorite set lives in one of...
Fourier-Mukai Transform for Tropical Abelian Varieties
Farbod Shokrieh
I will present a (cohomological) Fourier-Mukai transform for
tropical Abelian varieties and give some applications, including a
(generalized) Poincaré formula (for non-degenerate line bundles on
tropical Abelian varieties).
Based on joint work with...
Tropical Subrepresentations and Matroids
In their recent paper, Giansiracusa and Manaker introduced a
notion of tropical subrepresentations of linear representations by
considering linear actions on tropical linear spaces. In
particular, this framework naturally brings matroids into
the...
On the Extremals of the Khovanskii-Teissier Inequality
The Khovanskii-Teissier inequality provides the fundamental
log-concavity property of intersection numbers of divisors of
algebraic varieties, extending the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality of
convex geometry. In this talk I will explain, and attempt...
