Mode: In-person Title: Blow-ups and the quantum spectrum of surfaces Abstract: The cup product of ordinary cohomology describes how submanifolds of a manifold intersect each other. Gromov-Witten invariants give rise to quantum product and quantum cohomology, which describe how subspaces … Read more

Mode: In- Person Title: Hodge theoretic generalizations of Satake-Baily-Borel Abstract: There are many ways to compactify a locally hermitian symmetric space. Distinguished amongst this is a minimal compactification due to Satake. I will give a general audience introduction to a … Read more

Mode: In-Person Title: Quantitative Diffeerentiation Abstract: Abstract: Quantitative differentiation deals with the behavior of function or geometric object at all locations and on all scales. We will give a relatively short elementary proof of the main theorem in the simplest … Read more
Linear spaces of matrices of bounded rank Abstract. A classical problem in linear algebra is to classify linear spaces of matrices such that no element of the space has full rank. Work of Eisenbud and Harris showed that the problem … Read more
