Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Motivic correlators and locally symmetric spaces III
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...

Locally Symmetric Spaces Seminar

Cohomology of arithmetic groups and Eisenstein series - an introduction (continued)
10:00am|Physics Library, Bloomberg Hall 201

I intend to cover some basic questions and material regarding the phenomena in the cohomology of an arithmetic group "at infinity" when the corresponding locally symmetric space originating with an algebraic $k$-group $G$ of positive $k$-rank is non...

Transfer operators for (relative) functoriality "beyond endoscopy" II
3:15pm|S-101

"Beyond endoscopy", broadly interpreted, is the idea that functoriality should be realized as a comparison between stable trace formulas. The nature of this comparison, however, remains completely unclear.Broadening our scope to include the relative...

Floer Homology and Khovanov Homology Reading Group

Symplectic topology and the Haydys-Witten equations
Daniel Vitek
1:00pm

We'll discuss how dimensional reductions of the Haydys-Witten equations are connected to Haydys's definition of the Fukaya-Seidel category. Time permitting we'll touch on connections to Donaldson-Thomas's vision of higher-dimensional gauge theory.
