AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Dihua Jiang (U Minnesota) Title: Shalika Periods: Functoriality and Arithmetic Abstract: Shalika periods of automorphic forms were first used by H. Jacquet and J. Shalika (1990) in their construction of global zeta integrals for exterior square L-functions of GL(2n). They were also used by S. Friedberg and H. Jacquet (1993) in […]
Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar Speaker: Shu-Heng Shao (SUNY Stony Brook) Title: Cluster state as a noninvertible SPT phase Abstract: We will point out a non-invertible symmetry of the ordinary 1+1d Z2xZ2 cluster Hamiltonian. Therefore, the cluster state can be viewed as a non-invertible SPT phase under this fusion category symmetry, which is […]
Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar Speaker: Diego Delmastro (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics) Title: Monopoles, scattering, generalized symmetries Abstract: Gauge theory is a very mature subject by now. Surprisingly, some of its symmetries have only been properly understood in the last couple of years. Specifically, such theories typically have a very rich set […]
AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Baiying Liu (Purdue) Title: Recent progress on certain problems related to local Arthur packets of classical groups Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce recent progress on certain problems related to local Arthur packets of classical groups. First, I will introduce a joint work with Freydoon Shahidi towards Jiang's conjecture on the wave […]
AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Tasho Kaletha (University of Michigan) Title: Covers of reductive groups and functoriality Abstract: When studying problems arising from Langlands' functoriality principle, one often encounters groups that are extensions of complex reductive groups by Galois groups, but that do not necessarily satisfy all properties to be L-groups of reductive groups. We will show, […]
AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Xinwen Zhu (Stanford) Title: The tame categorical local Langlands correspondence. Abstract: I will discuss a conjectural categorical form of the local Langlands correspondence for p-adic groups and establish the tame part of such correspondence (currently for unramified groups with connected center, and for Q_l-coefficients). I will also explain how to extract a […]
Colloquium Speaker: Natalie Paquette, University of Washington Title: Koszul duality & twisted holography for asymptotically flat spacetimes Abstract: Koszul duality has been understood in recent years to characterize order-type defects in twists of supersymmetric field theories. This notion has been generalized, from a physical point of view, by studying couplings between D-branes and closed string […]
General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Jin Jia, Hunan University Title: Scattering Rigidity Problem Abstract: If the asymptotic behavior of a solution to a nonlinear equation is the same as that of a solution to its linearized equation, it is called a scattering solution. Scattering phenomena are widely observed near steady-state solutions of various mathematical physics equations, […]

AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Stephen D. Miller (Rutgers University) Title: What 4-graviton scattering amplitudes had to say about the unitary dual Abstract: I'll give an update on the problem of describing all unitary representations of a Lie group, including joint work with Michael Green and Pierre Vanhove that used intuition from string theory to show […]
https://youtu.be/eZbYSOpga2U New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Trieu H. Trinh, Google Deepmind and NYU Dept. of Computer Science Title: Solving olympiad geometry without human demonstrations Abstract: Proving mathematical theorems at the olympiad level represents a notable milestone in human-level automated reasoning, owing to their reputed difficulty among the world’s best talents in pre-university mathematics. Current […]
