Marston Morse Lectures

Minimal Surfaces and the Isoperimetric Inequality
Simon Brendle
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The isoperimetric inequality has a long history in the geometry. In this lecture, we will discuss how the isoperimetric inequality can be generalized to submanifolds in Euclidean space. As a special case, we obtain a sharp isoperimetric inequality...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Hofer-Wysocki-Zehnder's Conjecture on Two or Infinitely Many Orbits
Daniel Cristofaro-Gardiner
12:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In their 2001 paper, Hofer, Wysocki and Zehnder conjectured that every autonomous Hamiltonian flow has either two or infinitely many simple periodic orbits on any compact star-shaped energy level; in the same paper, the authors prove this assuming...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Stability and Learning in Strategic Games
Éva Tardos
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Over the last two decades we have developed good understanding how to quantify the impact of strategic user behavior on outcomes in many games (including traffic routing and online auctions) and showed that the resulting bounds extend to repeated...

Condensed Learning Seminar

Animated Analytic Rings
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Recall the notion of condensed analytic ring, then introduce its animated variant and discuss its properties. Explain the construction of induced analytic structures on animated condensed rings. Introduce the notion of steady maps of analytic rings...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Chaos in Lattice Spin Glasses and Some Questions for Analysts
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In spite of tremendous progress in the mean-field theory of spin glasses in the last forty years, culminating in Giorgio Parisi’s Nobel Prize in 2021, the more “realistic” short-range spin glass models have remained almost completely intractable. In...

Floer-Theoretic Corrections to the Geometry of Moduli Spaces of Lagrangian Tori
Denis Auroux
9:15am|Remote Access

Given a Lagrangian torus fibration on the complement of an anticanonical divisor in a Kahler manifold, one usually constructs a mirror space by gluing local charts (moduli spaces of objects of the Fukaya category supported on generic torus fibers)...

On Eisenstein’s Jugendtraum for Complex Cubic Fields
Pierre Charollois
4:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In the early 2000’s Ruijsenaars and Felder-Varchenko have introduced the elliptic gamma function, a remarkable multivariable meromorphic q-series that comes from mathematical physics. It satisfies modular functional equations under the group SL3(Z)...
