K-Theory Satisfies Nisnevich Descent
Longke Tang
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Review the notion of cd-structure for a Grothendieck topology and explain how it helps check the sheaf conditions. Introduce and discuss the Nisnevich topology for schemes and analytic adic spaces; in particular, discuss their equivalent...

  • Yan-Lung Leon Li :Equivariant Lagrangian Correspondence and a Conjecture of Teleman

    It has been a continuing interest, often with profound importance, in understanding the geometric and topological relationship between a Hamiltonian G-manifold Y and...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

Infinite Orbits In Certain Elliptic Surfaces, Ax Schanuel, and Ramification In The Legendre Family
Umberto Zannier
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

Motivated by work of Cantat-Dujardin, we study orbits by translations in K3 surfaces with two elliptic fibrations. We prove in particular that all orbits are infinite away from a proper Zariski-closed subset.

Among the tools, beyond the Pila-Wilkie...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

Ax-Schanuel and Exceptional Integrability
Jonathan Pila
3:00pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

In joint work with Jacob Tsimerman we study when the primitive of a given algebraic function can be constructed using primitives from some given finite set of algebraic functions, their inverses, algebraic functions, and composition. When the given...

Can One Hear the Winding Number?
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

We discuss a modern perspective on the winding number on $S^1$ for maps that may not be continuous. This reveals a surprising connection to Fourier analysis and motivates the question: is the winding number determined by the moduli of the Fourier...

Special Year Seminar

Rationalized Syntomic Cohomology
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A few years ago, Bhatt-Morrow-Scholze introduced an invariant of $p$-adic formal schemes called syntomic cohomology, which has a close relationship to (étale-localized) algebraic $K$-theory. In a recent paper, Antieau-Mathew-Morrow-Nikolaus showed...

The Method of Hypergraph Containers
Wojciech Samotij
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The method of hypergraph containers is a widely-applicable technique in probabilistic combinatorics. The method enables one to gain control over the independent sets of many `interesting' hypergraphs by exploiting the fact that these sets exhibit a...
