Title: Asymptotic Enumerativity of Tevelev Degrees.Abstract: A Tevelev degree is a type of Gromov-Witten invariant where the domain curve is fixed in the moduli. After reviewing the basic definitions and previously known results, I will report on joint work with Lehmann, Lian, Riedl, Starr, and Tanimoto, where we improve the Lian-Pandharipande bound on asymptotic enumerativity of Tevelev […]
Title: On the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for unitary groups Abstract: The Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture stipulates the existence of relations between the central values of certain L-functions and some automorphic periods on classical groups. It can be seen as a higher rank generalization of a famous formula of Waldspurger for toric periods on GL(2). In this talk, I […]
Title: Transfer operators for the relative trace formula. (Cont.) Abstract: Last time I presented an explicit formula for transfer operators that relate test measures and characters between the double quotients HG/H, for any rank-one homogeneous space G/H and the Whittaker model of SL(2) or PGL(2). In this talk, I will give a possible explanation for […]
