Fall 2019 Schedule
Wednesday Sep 18: Speaker: Dr. Ivan Horozov Title: Reciprocity laws - from Euler to Langlands Abstract: The talk will be a brief history on the theme reciprocity laws. We will start with the quadratic reciprocity law formulated by Euler and proven by Gauss. The rest depends on time and interest.
Wednesday Sep 25: Speaker: Dr. Mehdi Lejmi Title: The Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields Abstract: I will discuss some properties of the Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields on Kähler manifolds. If time permits, I will explain how we can extend some of these properties to the almost-Kähler case.
Wednesday Oct 2: Speaker: Dr. Mehdi Lejmi Title: The Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields II
Wednesday Oct 9: No classes.
Wednesday Oct 16: Speaker: Dr. Mehdi Lejmi Title: The Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields III
Wednesday Oct 23: Speaker: Dr. Mehdi Lejmi Title: The Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields IV
Wednesday Oct 30: No meeting.
Wednesday Nov 6: No meeting
Wednesday Nov 13: Speaker: Dr. Mehdi Lejmi Title: The Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields V
Wednesday Nov 20: Speaker: Dr. Mehdi Lejmi Title: The Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields VI
Wednesday Nov 27: Speaker Dr. Roman Kossak. Title: Categoricity. Abstract: Let kappa be a cardinal number. A class of infinite structures K is kappa-categorical if any two structures in K of cardinality kappa are isomorphic. If K=Mod(T) is the class of all structures satisfying a given set of axioms T (think: dense linear orderings, divisible abelian groups, random graphs, algebraically closed fields), then K has structures of any infinite cardinality; hence it is natural to ask: for which kappa is K kappa-categorical? I will briefly survey a few classical theorems that give interesting answers to that question, and then I will discuss some more recent results and problems on abstract elementary classes. They are classes K that are not necessarily of the form Mod(T) but have similar properties.
Wednesday Dec 4: Speaker: Dr. Karen Taylor Title: The circle method.
Wednesday Dec 11: Speaker: Dr. Karen Taylor Title: The circle method II
