Consider the family of automorphic representations on some unitary group with fixed (possibly non-tempered) cohomological representation π0 at infinity and level dividing some finite upper bound. We compute statistics of this family as the level...

Tate reformulated the theory of the Riemann zeta function and its functional equation as the Mellin shadow of the Fourier transform on a certain space of function on the adeles. Conjecturally, Langlands' general automorphic L-functions and their...

Cohen, Lenstra, and Martinet gave conjectural distributions for the class group of a random number field. Since the class group is the Galois group of the maximum abelian unramified extension, a natural generalization would be to give a conjecture...

The Cohen-Lenstra heuristics give predictions for the distribution of the class groups of a random quadratic number field. Cohen and Martinet generalized them to predict the distribution of the class groups of random extensions of a fixed base field...

A Diophantine upper bound on the dimensions of certain spaces of holonomic functions was the main ingredient in our proof with Calegari and Tang of the 'unbounded denominators conjecture' (presented by Tang in last year's number theory seminar) from...

This lecture will partly survey branching laws for real and p-adic groups which often is related to period integrals of automorphic representations, discuss some of the more recent developments, focusing attention on homological aspects and the...

Half-integral weight modular forms are classical objects with many important arithmetic applications.  In terms of automorphic representations, these correspond to objects on the metaplectic double cover of SL(2).  In this talk, I will outline a...

In this three-part lecture series, we will present a series of works by Bedrossian, Blumenthal and Punshon-Smith on the chaotic mixing and enhanced dissipation properties of a passive tracer subject to the motion of an ergodic Markovian flow of...

I will discuss recent work with Maksym Radziwill in which we show that for any fixed tempered cuspidal representation π of GL(4) over the rationals, there exist infinitely many primitive characters χ such that the twisted L-function L(s,π×χ) is non...

We determine the average size of the 3-torsion in class groups of G-extensions of a number field when G is any transitive 2-group containing a transposition, for example, D4.  It follows from the Cohen--Lenstra--Martinet heuristics that the average...
