Title: Shimura Varieties and Eigensheaves Abstract: The cohomology of Shimura varieties is a fundamental object of study in algebraic number theory by virtue of the fact that it is the only known geometric realization of the global Langlands correspondence over number fields. Usually, the cohomology is computed through very delicate techniques involving the trace formula. […]
Rather than a seminar talk, this week we will meet to brainstorm on the relation between Euler systems and harmonic analysis.
Topic: Formalizing ∞-category theory in Lean
Title: Existence of 5 minimal tori in 3-spheres of positive Ricci curvatureAbstract: In 1989, Brian White conjectured that every Riemannian 3-sphere contains at least five embedded minimal tori. The number five is optimal, corresponding to the Lyusternik-Schnirelmann category of the space of Clifford tori. I will present recent joint work with Adrian Chu, where we […]
Title: Linear Chern-Hopf-Thurston conjectureAbstract: The Chern-Hopf-Thurston conjecture asserts that for a closed, aspherical manifold X of dimension 2d, the Euler characteristics satisfies $(-1)^dchi(X)geq 0$. In this talk, we present a proof of the conjecture for projective manifolds whose fundamental groups admit an almost faithful linear representation. Moreover, we establish a stronger result: all perverse sheaves on X […]
Title: p-adic L-functions for GSp(4)times GL(2) Abstract: I'll explain a construction of p-adic L-functions for GSp(4)times GL(2) by using Furusawa's integral and the proof of its interpolation formula. I'll describe how local functional equations are used to compute the zeta intgerals at p and how the archimedean integrals are computed by using Yoshida lifts together […]

Title: The Saint Venant inequality and quantitative resolvent estimates for the Dirichlet Laplacian.Abstract: Among all cylindrical beams of a given material, those with circular cross sections are the most resistant to twisting forces. The general dimensional analogue of this fact is the Saint Venant inequality, which says that balls have the largest “torsional rigidity” among […]
Title: Reconstructing schemes from their étale topoi.Abstract: In Grothendieck’s 1983 letter to Faltings that initiated the study of anabelian geometry, he conjectured that a large class of schemes can be reconstructed from their étale topoi. In this talk, I’ll discuss joint work with Magnus Carlson and Sebastian Wolf that proves Grothendieck’s conjecture for infinite fields. Specifically, we […]
Title: Towards Bezrukavnikov's geometrization of affine Hecke algebras in mixed-characteristics Abstract: Let G be a connected reductive group over a p-adic field. Kazhdan and Lusztig established an isomorphism between the extended affine Hecke algebra of G and certain equivariant K-group of the Steinberg variety of the Langlands dual group of G. This isomorphism plays a crucial […]
