Place: Room 614 in the Education & Sciences Building Time: 14:00 Date: Tuesday, November 27, 2018 Abstract: Hyperbolic groups were introduced by Gromov to create a unified framework for various notions of non-positive curvature in group theory. To a hyperbolic…

Integral representations are a fundamental tool in the study of automorphic L functions. One of these constructions, developed by Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis in the late 80s, produced the standard L function for any cuspidal representation of a classical group, or…

Many of us are familiar with the classical fact that the orbit of an irrational rotation of the circle is equidistributed, meaning that the fraction of time spent in any given arc is asymptotically equal to the length of the…

Polynomial functors were introduced in an algebraic setting by Eilenberg and Mac Lane around 1954 (but implicitly were present already in the work of Schur circa 1900). Since the advent of the calculus of functors (Tom Goodwillie in the 1990-ies),…

For a projective curve C defined over F_q we study the statistics of the F_q-structure of a section of C by a random hyperplane defined over F_q in the $q\to\infty$ limit. We obtain a very general equidistribution result for this problem. We deduce…

New fundamental physical theories can, so far a posteriori, be seen as emerging from existing ones via some kind of deformation. That is the basis for Flato’s “deformation philosophy”, of which the main paradigms are the physics revolutions from the…

My talk will be devoted to a basic theory of extensions of complete real-valued fields L/K. Naturally, one says that L is topologically-algebraically generated over K by a subset S if L lies in the completion of the algebraic closure…

I will talk about the celebrated Eliashberg-Gromov theorem on C^0 robustness of symplectic diffeomorphisms, and some of its recent extensions from the field of C^0 symplectic geometry.
