Title: Geometric Casselman-Shalika in mixed characteristic Abstract: I will present joint work with Ashwin Iyengar and Konrad Zou, where we proved a geometric analog of the (local) Casselman-Shalika formula for split connected reductive groups over mixed characteristic local fields. This formula captures properties of Fourier coefficients of automorphic functions that are fundamental to the Langlands […]

Title: A Khovanov-like Categorification of the Four Color TheoremAbstract: The four color theorem states that each bridgeless trivalent planar graph has a proper 4-face coloring. It can be generalized to certain types of CW complexes of any closed surface for any number of colors, i.e., one looks for a coloring of the 2-cells (faces) of […]

Title: Rectification of Coalgebras Abstract: There are two ways of talking about homotopy coherent algebras. One is to use model theoretic ideas: given a nice model category (C, W), one gets a right induced model structure on Alg(C). Second, one can use infinity category methods. Any nice model category (C, W) has an infinity categorical […]

Title: Towards A-theory of orbifoldsAbstract: Waldhausen's A-theory of spaces — an extension of Quillen's higher algebraic K-theory of rings — is central to the study of moduli spaces of manifolds. In this talk, we will discuss a generalization of A-theory that takes as input an orbifold and which we expect to have rich geometric applications in analogy with the manifold setting. An orbifold is […]
