How Crystals Grow Inside Solids
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

Most metals and ceramics are composed of many individual crystals fused together. Foams are composed of many individual bubbles. In both cases, as time passes, the picture evolves and coarsens. The average size of a crystal or a bubble increases....

Symmetry of the Hitchin Fibration

On Geometric Stabilization
10:30am|S-101

I will formulate the geometric interpretation of the stabilization of (a part) of the geometric side of the trace formula for Lie algebra. The SL(2) case will be discussed in some details.

On the Fundamental Lemma for Weighted Orbital Integrals

Moduli of Metaplectic Bundles on Curves and Theta-Sheaves
10:30am|S-101

We give a geometric analog of the Weil representation of the metaplectic group, placing it in the framework of the geometric Langlands program. For a smooth projective curve X we introduce an algebraic stack \tilde\Bun_G of metaplectic bundles on X...

Equivariant Homology of Affine Springer Fibers
10:30am|S-101

I will attempt to summarize the results in the following two papers, jointly written with R. Kottwitz and R. MacPherson: "Equivariant cohomology, Koszul duality, and the localization theorem" (Inv. Math., 1998) and "Homology of affine Springer...

The Fundamental Lemma and Change of Characteristic (following Waldspurger)
10:30am|S-101

In a recent article, Waldspurger proved that the fundamental lemma for Lie algebras doesn't depend on the characteristic of the base field (among other things...). In this talk, I would like to explain some ideas of the proof of that result.

The Completed Cohomology of Arithmetic Groups
Frank Calegari
1:30pm|S-101

The cohomology of arithmetic groups (with real coefficients) is usually understood in terms of automorphic forms. Such methods, however, fail (at least naively) to capture information about torsion classes in integral cohomology. We discuss a...

Local-Global Compatibility in the p-Adic Langlands Program for GL(2) over Q
Matthew Emerton
2:15pm|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

I will outline the proof of various cases of the local-global compatibility statement alluded to in the title, and also explain its applications to the Fontaine—Mazur conjecture, and to a conjecture of Kisin.

The Fundamental Curve of p-Adic Hodge Theory
2:15pm|S-101

Let $\overline K$ be an algebraic closure of a $p$-adic field $K$. We construct a separated noetherian regular scheme $X$ (nonalgebraic) equipped with an action of $G_K=\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{K}/K)$. We have $H^0(X, O_X) = Q_p$ and $H_1(X, O_X) = 0$...

Let p be an odd prime number and let F be a totally real field. Let F_cyc be the cyclotomic extension of F generated by the roots of unity of order a power of p . From the maximal abelian extension of F_cyc which is unramified (resp. unramified...

Non-abelian Lubin-Tate Theory Modulo $\ell$
2:15pm|S-101

Let p and l be two distinct prime numbers, and fix a positive integer d . I will explain how the F_l-cohomology complex of the Lubin-Tate tower of height d of a p-adic field K realizes mod l versions of both the semi-simple Langlands correspondence...

A Semistable Model for the Tower of Modular Cures
2:15pm|S-101

The usual Katz-Mazur model for the modular curve X(p^n) has horribly singular reduction. For large n there isn't any model of X(p^n) which has good reduction, but after extending the base one can at least find a semistable model, which means that...

Explicit Serre Weight Conjectures
2:15pm|S-101

We will discuss a generalisation of Serre's conjecture on the possible weights of modular mod p Galois representations for a broad class of reductive groups. In good cases (essentially when the Galois representation is tamely ramified at p) the...

On the Realization of Some Degenerate Automorphic Forms on Certain Griffiths-Schmid Varieties
2:15pm|S-101

Some automorphic forms, despite the fact they are algebraic, do not have any interpretation as cohomology classes on a Shimura variety: therefore nothing is known at present on their expected arithmetic properties. I shall explain how such forms...

Algebraic Cycles on Picarad Moduli Spaces of Abelian Varieties

Picard moduli spaces parametrize principally polarized abelian varieties with complex multiplication by the ring of integers in an imaginary-quadratic field. The loci where the abelian varieties split off an elliptic curve in a controlled way are...

A New Approach to the Local Langlands Correspondence for GL_n Over p-Adic Fields
Peter Scholze
2:15pm|S-101

We give a new local characterization of the Local Langlands Correspondence, using deformation spaces of p-divisible groups, and show its existence by a comparison with the cohomology of some Shimura varieties. This reproves results of Harris-Taylor...

I will describe a joint work with Barnet-Lamb, Gee and Taylor where we establish a potential automorphy result for compatible systems of Galois representations over totally real and CM fields. This is deduced from a potential automorphy result for...
