Title: Singularities in minimal submanifoldsAbstract: In the last few years there have been significant developments in techniques used to understand singularities within minimal submanifolds. I will discuss this circle of ideas and […]
Title: On cohomology of BG.Abstract: Cohomology of classifying space/stack of a group G is the home which resides all characteristic classes of G-bundles/torsors. In this talk, we will try to explain some […]
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 […]
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 […]
Title: Towards a (3+1)-dimensional TQFT from TMFAbstract: I will discuss work in progress, joint with Sergei Gukov, Lennart Meier, and Du Pei, concerning a construction of a 4-manifold invariant using […]
Title: On the strong Sarkisov Program.Abstract: In this talk, I will explain some results about factorizing a birational map between Mori fibre spaces into Sarkisov links, such that the invariants of Sarkisov […]
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 […]
Title: Introduction to the relative Langlands program, with open problems, I.Abstract: This will be the first of a few talks introducing the "relative" Langlands program, with a view towards open […]
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 […]
