Title: Degenerate, Generalized, and Reduced Whittaker models Abstract: Whittaker models are realizations of representations on a space of functions that transform in a certain way under the action of a unipotent group, and they have been central in both the local representation theory and the global theory of automorphic representations. For groups other than GL_n, […]

Title: Root Number Correlation Bias of Fourier Coefficients of Modular FormsAbstract:  In a recent machine learning based study, He, Lee, Oliver, and Pozdnyakov observed a striking oscillating pattern in the average value of the P-th Frobenius trace of elliptic curves of prescribed rank and conductor in an interval range. Sutherland discovered that this bias extends to […]

Title: Rigid-analytic analogue of Artin-Grothendieck vanishing Abstract: The classical theorem of Andreotti and Frankel says that any Stein complex manifold has homotopy type of a CW complex of real dimension ≤ dimX. In particular, this implies that the cohomology groups H^i(X, A) vanish for any abelian group A and any i > dimX. This vanishing […]

Title: Igusa stacks and cohomology of Shimura varieties Abstract: Cohomology of Shimura varieties has drawn interest from number theory and representation theory. Following ideas developed by Caraiani-Scholze, Koshikawa, Santos, Hamann-Lee, I will explain how vanishing type of results for the generic part in the cohomology of Shimura varieties with torsion coefficients can be obtained, using […]

Title: Fourier Interpolation and the Weil Representation Abstract: In 2017, Radchenko-Viazovska proved a remarkable interpolation result for even Schwartz functions on the real line: such a function is entirely determined by its values and those of its Fourier transform at square roots of integers. We give a new proof of this result, exploiting the fact […]

Title: Kudla-Rapoport conjecture at bad reduction primes Abstract: The Kudla-Rapoport conjecture is a local analogue of arithmetic Siegel-Weil formula which relates arithmetic intersections of special cycles with derivatives of local densities. The original conjecture is formulated when the underlying Rapoport-Zink space has good reduction and proved by Chao Li and Wei Zhang. However, it is […]

Title: Laumon sheaf and the mod p Langlands program for GL_2 of a finite degree extension of Qp Abstract: Let E be a finite degree extension of Qp. Given a mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of E we construct a sheaf on a punctured absolute Banach-Colmez space that should give the first […]

Title: On the vanishing of Selmer groups for odd orthogonal Galois representations Abstract: Let $pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $Sp_2n$ over $mathbb{Q}$ which is holomorphic discrete series at infinity, and $chi$ a Dirichlet character. Then one can attach to $pi$ an orthogonal $p$-adic Galois representation $rho$ of dimension $2n+1$. Assume $rho$ is irreducible, […]

Title: Automorphic forms, motives and periods Abstract: I shall try to give an overview of parts of the Langlands program in a way that suggests future directions and applications. Among these are motivic periods, which I will discuss in general terms. Then, time permitting, I will discuss a conjectural construction of the automorphic and motivic […]

Title: Analytic de Rham stack Abstract: In this talk I will present a new geometric construction in analytic geometry that encodes different theories of analytic D-modules, analogous to the classical algebraic de Rham stack of Simpson.  I will explain some of their main features such as theories of six functors, the relation with more classical theories […]

Title: Rigid inner forms and the Bernstein decomposition for L-parametersAbstract: The purpose of this talk is to explain the construction of the Bernstein decomposition for enhanced L-parameters (first introduced by Aubert-Moussaoui-Solleveld using Arthur’s enhancements of L-parameters) in Kaletha’s framework of rigid inner forms. This is the first step in a general strategy to reduce local Langlands correspondences to the […]

Title: Quantum ergodicity on the Bruhat-Tits building for PGL(3, F) in the Benjamini-Schramm limit Abstract: Originally, quantum ergodicity concerned equidistribution properties of Laplacian eigenfunctions with large eigenvalue on manifolds for which the geodesic flow is ergodic. More recently, several authors have investigated quantum ergodicity for sequences of spaces which "converge" to their common universal cover […]
