Algebra & Number Theory Day: Jeremy Hahn (MIT)
Kirwan Hall 3206, 4176 Campus Dr, College Park, MD 20742Title: Exotic spheres from p-adic cohomology theories.Abstract:Part 1: An n-dimensional exotic sphere is a smooth manifold homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic, to S^n. I will give a leisurely introduction to the […]
Algebra & Number Theory Day: David Helm (Imperial)
Kirwan Hall 3206, 4176 Campus Dr, College Park, MD 20742Title: Finiteness for Hecke algebras of p-adic reductive groups. Abstract: Part 1: Let F be a p-adic field, and G the F-points of a reductive group over F. For any compact […]
Algebra & Number Theory Day: Karl Schwede (Utah)
Kirwan Hall 3206, 4176 Campus Dr, College Park, MD 20742Title: Singularities in Mixed Characteristic via Alterations.Abstract: Multiplier ideals and test ideals are ways to measure singularities in characteristic zero and p > 0 respectively. In characteristic zero, multiplier ideals are […]
Analysis seminar: Ronan Conlon (UT Dallas)
302Title: A family of Kahler flying wing steady Ricci solitonsAbstract: Steady Kahler-Ricci solitons are eternal solutions of the Kahler-Ricci flow. I will present new examples of such solitons with strictly […]
Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Justin Lacini (Princeton)
Hodson 216Title: Syzygies of adjoint linear series on projective varietiesAbstract: Syzygies of algebraic varieties have long been a topic of intense interest among algebraists and geometers alike. Starting with the pioneering work of Mark Green […]
Number Theory Seminar: Elad Zelingher (University of Michigan)
Maryland 201Title: Kloosterman sums in representation theory of GL(n, Fq) Abstract: Given a "nice" irreducible representation of GL(n, Fq), one can define a special matrix coefficient attached to it, called the […]
