Dr. Junliang Shen, Yale – The P=W conjecture for GL_n

Phillips Hall 385

Mode: In-person Title: The P=W conjecture for GL_n Abstract:  In 2010, de Cataldo-Hausel-Migliorini proposed a conjecture connecting topology of the Hitchin system and Hodge theory of the corresponding character variety via the non-abelian Hodge theory. This conjecture is now referred … Read more

Aidan Young, UNC – Spatial-Temporal Differentiation Theorems

Zoom

Mode: Zoom Title: Spatial-Temporal Differentiation Theorems Abstract: We present a type of ergodic-theoretic differentiation problem that synthesizes spatial and temporal differentiation problems, creatively termed a spatial-temporal differentiation problem. We describe the problem, and present various convergence results. Based on joint … Read more

Dr. Amarjit Budhiraja, UNC-CH – Numerical Approaches for Computing Quasi-stationary Distributions

Phillips Hall 332

Mode: In-person Title: Numerical Approaches for Computing Quasi-stationary Distributions Abstract: Markov processes with absorbing states occur frequently in epidemiology, statistical physics, population biology, and other areas. Quasi-stationary distributions (QSD) are the basic mathematical object used to describe the long-time behavior … Read more

Dr. Inkang Kim, KIAS, Stanford – Signature, Toledo invariant, and the surface group representations in Hermitian semisimple Lie groups

Phillips Hall 332

Mode: In-Person Title: Signature, Toledo invariant, and the surface group representations in Hermitian semisimple Lie groups Abstract: People study higher Teichmuller theory and using several invariants, one tries to characterize the representations. We give a unifying formula between (Atiyah-Patodi-Singer) signature, … Read more

Dr. Peter Kototeev, Berkeley – Opers and Integrable Systems

Phillips Hall 385

Mode: In person Title: Opers and Integrable Systems Abstract: I will explain how the geometric construction of opers (as well as its difference and elliptic generalizations) is related to quantum and classical integrable systems. Opers thereby provide a framework to … Read more
