Special Year Seminar

Crystals and $q$-Calculus
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will present two settings where $q$-De Rham and prismatic vector bundles can be described in terms of modules over an appropriate ring of $q$-twisted differential operators and also the relation with former results. 

This is a joint work with...

Analyzing the Max Entropy Algorithm for TSP
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss recent progress on approximating the metric traveling salesperson problem, focusing on a line of work beginning in 2011 that studies the behavior of the max entropy algorithm. This algorithm is a randomized variant of the beautiful...

Joint IAS/Princeton Arithmetic Geometry Seminar

Witt-Differential Operators
Christopher Dodd
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We describe a new theory of sheaves of rings of differential operators on the Witt-vectors on a smooth scheme characteristic p. Roughly speaking, these sheaves are to the de Rham-Witt complex as the usual sheaf of differential operators is to the de...

Quantitative Regularity Theory for the Axisymmetric Navier-Stokes Equations
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In the search for possible blow-up of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, there has been much recent attention on the class of axisymmetric solutions with swirl. Several interesting structures of this system have led to regularity criteria...

Condensed Learning Seminar

Efimov K-Theory
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Introduce the notion of Verdier sequences of presentable stable $\infty$-categories and then discuss the behavior of dualizable $\infty$-categories in Verdier sequence; in particular, discuss Thomason's trick. Introduce the notion of localizing...

Symplectic Capacities of Domains Close to the Ball and Banach-Mazur Geodesics in the Space of Contact Forms
Alberto Abbondandolo
9:15am|Remote Access

An old open question in symplectic topology is whether all normalized capacities coincide on convex bounded domains in the standard symplectic vector space. I will discuss this question for domains which are close to the Euclidean ball and its...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

A P-Adic Analogue of a Theorem of Narasimhan and Seshadri
Fabrizio Andreatta
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

Given a compact Riemann surface, a classical theorem of of Narasimhan and Seshadri characterize vector bundles arising from unitary representations of the fundamental group as the polystable vector bundles of degree 0. Given a projective curve with...

Ergodic Theory Beyond Birkhoff's Theorem
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

The classical Birkhoff individual ergodic theorem states that in the presence of an ergodic invariant measure, almost every orbit is uniformly distributed with respect to the measure. For many applications (in particular to number theory), it is...
