Seminars Sorted by Series

In this talk we will describe two methods which shows that, under some rigidity assumptions on the involved Legendrian submanifolds, a Lagrangian cobordism is simply connected. The first one uses the functoriality of the fundamental class in...

I will describe some work in progress (maybe more accurately, wild speculation) regarding a version of the derived Fukaya category for contact 1-jet spaces $J^1(X)$. This category is built from Legendrian submanifolds equipped with augmentations...

Satellite operations are a common way to create interesting knot types in the smooth category. It starts with a knot $K$, called the companion knot, in some manifold $M$ and another knot $P$, called the pattern, in $S^1 \times D^2$ and then creates...

In this series of two talks we will discuss Weinstein structures endowed with a Lefschetz fibration in terms of the Legendrian front projection. The main focus is on Weinstein manifolds which admit a Weinstein Lefschetz fibration with an $A_k$-fibre...

Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds arise in Relative Symplectic Field Theory. In recent years, there has been much progress on answering qualitative questions such as: For a fixed pair of Legendrians, does there exist a Lagrangian...

Beyond Endoscopy will feature talks on Friday and Saturday by Ngô Bảo Châu, Robert Langlands, Ali Altuğ, Bill Casselman, Shuyang Cheng, Tasho Kaletha, Freydoon Shahidi, Jasmin Matz, and James Arthur. For the latest schedule, please see www.ias.edu...

This will be an informal working seminar, trying to understand the recent paper of Birkar, Cascini, Hacon and McKernan on the finite generation of canonical rings.

We start by stating the general form of the Minimal Model Conjecture and explain the relevance of some recent work of Bouksom-Demailly-Paun-Peternell. After that we describe the general picture of the proof of Hacon et al for the general type case.

We will discuss the ideas of the proof of the finite generation theorem, by looking at several special cases.

We will finish the sketch of the proof of existence of a geometrically meaningful compactification of the moduli space of canonically polarized smooth varieties.

In this talk I will try to motivate the interest and some of the mystery in the Ramsey numbers R(k), which are fundamental quantities in combinatorics. I will go on to discuss some recent progress on our understanding of these numbers and make some...
