Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Modular symbols and arithmetic
1:45pm|S-101

In these lectures, we will explore what insight can be gained into the arithmetic of Galois representations in a given dimension through the geometry of a higher-dimensional locally symmetric space near a boundary component. The starting point for...

Working group on microlocal analysis and automorphic forms
10:00am|Physics Library, Bloomberg Hall 201

This will be an informal working group on aspects of microlocal analysis that are relevant to automorphic forms. We will try to study Archimedean zeta integrals (which are related to local L-functions) using tools from the geometric theory of...

Transfer operators between relative trace formulas in rank one II
1:45pm|S-101

I will introduce a new paradigm for comparing relative trace formulas, in order to prove instances of (relative) functoriality and relations between periods of automorphic forms.More precisely, for a spherical variety $X=H\backslash G$ of rank one...

Derived deformation rings for group representations
Søren Galatius
10:00am|Physics Library, Bloomberg Hall 201

It is well known that an irreducible representation of a group $G$ over a field $k$ admits a universal deformation to a representation over a complete Noetherian local ring, provided that it is absolutely irreducible, i.e. remains irreducible after...

Motivic correlators and locally symmetric spaces IV
1:45pm|S-101

According to Langlands, pure motives are related to a certain class of automorphic representations.Can one see mixed motives in the automorphic set-up? For examples, can one see periods of mixed motives in entirely automorphic terms? The goal of...

Automorphic forms and motivic cohomology III
1:45pm|S-101

In the lectures I will formulate a conjecture asserting that there is a hidden action of certain motivic cohomology groups on the cohomology of arithmetic groups. One can construct this action, tensored with $\mathbb C$, using differential forms...

A remark on cohomology of locally symmetric spaces
10:00am|Dilworth Room

Let $H = G/K$ be a symmetric space and $X = \Gamma \backslash H$ its locally symmetric quotient. An important problem is to understand the cohomology of the space $X$ (or, more or less equivalent, cohomology of the group $\Gamma$). The idea is that...
