In this talk, we follow the book ‘Fourier Integral Operators’ by Duistermaat. Fourier integral operators (FIO) are a class of operators that generalise pseudodifferential operators. While pseudodifferential operators include solution operators to elliptic problems, FIO include solution operators…

In my talk, I will start by reviewing how various properties of characteristic zero singularities can be understood topologically by ways of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. After that, I will explain how similar ideas can be applied in the study of mixed characteristic singularities.…

The well-known Adams conjecture in topology is a theorem about compactifications of real vector bundles on CW-complexes, which has important implications for analyzing stable homotopy groups of spheres. In the talk we will discuss an algebro-geometric version of this statement, which tackles…

We care about arithmetic invariants of polynomial equations / motives e.g. conductors or L-functions, which (conjecturally) are often automorphic and related to cycles on Shimura varieties. In this talk, I will focus on L-functions of Asai motives (e.g. Rankin-Selberg motives for GL_n x GL_n)…

Dimitroglou-Rizell-Golovko constructs a family of Legendrians in prequantization bundles by taking lifts of monotone Lagrangians. These lifted Legendrians have a Morse-Bott family of Reeb chords. We construct a version of Legendrian Contact Homology(LCH) for Rizell-Golovko's lifted Legendrians…

I will talk about how critical multiplicative chaos in probability theory is connected to and leads to recent breakthroughs in probabilistic number theory, in particular, the study of random multiplicative functions and character sums. No background in number theory is assumed.

Knot invariants are typically used to give a negative answer to the question of when two embeddings are ambiently isotopic, and rarely to give a positive answer. An exception is the celebrated result of Freedman and Quinn that if the complement of a 2-sphere embedded in the 4-sphere has…

Elena Kosygina (Baruch College)

In this talk, we shall discuss our recent work which shows that in the periodic homogenization of viscous HJ equations in any spatial dimension the effective Hamiltonian does not necessarily inherit the quasiconvexity property (in the momentum variables) of the original Hamiltonian. Moreover,…
