Physically Inspired Mathematics Seminar – Marco Castronovo

Phillips Hall 383

Curved Fukaya algebras and the Dubrovin spectrum Abstract: The cohomology ring of a compact symplectic manifold can be deformed by counting pseudo-holomorphic spheres. Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono developed an obstruction theory that explains when Lagrangian submanifolds yield modules over such deformation, based on … Read more

Geometric Methods in Rep Theory Seminar – Jayce Getz (Duke)

Phillips Hall 385

On the Poisson summation conjecture Abstract: Braverman, Kazhdan, Lafforgue, Ngo, and Sakellaridis have conjectured that Fourier analysis on a vector space is but the first example of a larger phenomenon. More generally, one should have Schwartz spaces, Fourier transforms, and, … Read more

M. E. Taylor Analysis and PDE Seminar – Boya Liu (NCSU)

Phillips Hall 385

Recovery of time-dependent coefficients in hyperbolic equations on Riemannian manifolds from partial data. Abstract. In this talk we discuss inverse problems of determining time-dependent coefficients appearing in the wave equation in a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension three or higher. … Read more

Mathematics Colloquium – Shadi Tahvildar-Zadeh (Rutgers)

Phillips Hall 332

Spectral lines of general-relativistic hydrogen Abstract. After reviewing basics of the spectral theory for non-relativistic quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians of hydrogenic ions, I discuss what impact the incorporation of additional effects such as special relativity, anomalous magnetic moment for the electron, and … Read more

Mathematics Colloquium – Thomas Haines (UMaryland)

Phillips Hall 332

Galois actions on cohomology of algebraic varieties Abstract. This talk will be an overview of a few big open problems which are of great importance in arithmetic algebraic geometry, number theory, and representation theory. The focus will be on the … Read more
