Title: 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 on curves, numerous attempts have been made to extend these results to higher dimensions. Ein and Lazarsfeld proved that if A is a very ample […]

Title: 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 Bessel function. Often Kloosterman sums show up as special values of these Bessel functions. In this talk, I will first explain my previous results regarding […]
