Seminar on OpenAI's 722 Manuscripts

The Unramified Langlands Conjecture for Function Fields
9:30am|Simonyi 101

I will discuss OpenAI's proposed solution of the unramified Langlands conjecture for function fields (problem #014 on the list). Recently, the geometric Langlands conjecture in characteristic 0 has been resolved, leading to substantial progress...

Members' Colloquium

Blow up for the Incompressible Euler equations with smooth space-time forcing
Tristan Buckmaster
2:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall

In this talk, we will discuss finite-time blow-up of the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations with smooth space-time forcing. We will describe a multiscale mechanism in which hydrodynamic instabilities amplify vorticity at successively...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Thermal Giant Graviton Expansion
Kasia Budzik
3:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: In this talk, I will present a holographic expansion, known as the giant graviton expansion, of the thermal partition function of free N=4 super Yang-Mills. We use the twistorial uplift of self-dual N=4 SYM, which can be engineered in the...

Joint IAS/PU Arithmetic Geometry

Unitary Representations and the Langlands Classification
Lucas Mason-Brown
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Let $G$ be a reductive Lie group. The Langlands classification describes the set $\Pi_a(G)$ of irreducible admissible $G$-representations in terms of conjugacy classes in the Langlands dual group. Inside $\Pi_a(G)$ is the subset $\Pi_u(G)$ of...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

High-dimensional Online Calibration: Harmonic Weights and Harmonic Analysis
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

We study the online calibration of multidimensional forecasts over an arbitrary convex set. For forecasting over the hypercube, we give the first algorithm that achieves ε-calibration in a number of rounds polynomial in the dimension, exponentially...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Informal Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This year we will hold a *very informal* get-together every Tuesday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, meet up around 12.20 pm to grab lunch in the dining...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Invariants of Legendrian Knots in Thickened Convex Surfaces
Nancy Eagles
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Recently, Zijian Rong and I defined a new differential graded algebra associated to a Legendrian knot $\Lambda$ in a thickened convex surface $\Sigma \times \mathbb{R}$. The algebra is defined combinatorially and in the same spirit as the Chekanov...
