On a Theorem of Furstenberg
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A deep result of Furstenberg from 1967 states that if $\Gamma$ is a lattice in a semisimple Lie group $G$, then there exists a measure on $\Gamma$ with finite first moment such that the corresponding harmonic measure on the Furstenberg boundary of...

Tight Cell-Probe Lower Bounds for Dynamic Succinct Dictionaries
Huacheng Yu
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A dictionary data structure maintains a set of at most $n$ keys from the universe $[U]$ under key insertions and deletions, such that given a query $x\in[U]$, it returns if $x$ is in the set. Some variants also store values associated to the keys...

  • Yao Xiao : Equivariant Lagrangian Floer Theory on Compact Toric Manifolds

    We introduce an equivariant Lagrangian Floer theory on compact symplectic toric manifolds. We define a spectral sequence to compute the equivariant Floer cohomology. We show...

Kashiwara Crystals in Endoscopy
Griffin Wang
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

In my recent work on a geometric proof of the endoscopic fundamental lemma for spherical Hecke algebras, there are many new features not present in its Lie algebra analogue originally proved by B.C.~Ng\^o. One of such new features is an asymptotic...

Mathematical Conversations

Matrix Rigidity
Zeev Dvir
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

A matrix M is rigid if one needs to change it in many places in order to reduce its rank significantly. While a random matrix M (say over a finite field) is rigid with high probability, coming up with explicit constructions of such matrices is still...

Special Year Seminar

On Endomorphisms of THH
Maxime Ramzi
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Topological Hochschild homology is an important invariant, closely related to algebraic K-theory, and can be seen as a noncommutative analogue of de Rham chains.

In this talk, I will describe various computations of the ring/monoid of endomorphisms...

Members' Colloquium

Fourier Uniformity of Multiplicative Functions
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The Fourier uniformity conjecture seeks to understand what multiplicative functions can have large Fourier coefficients on many short intervals. We will discuss recent progress on this problem and explain its connection with the distribution of...
