Gems of Ramanujan: The Legacy of and Lasting Impact on Mathematics Thursday, Nov 24, 2016 Location: AERL 120 Time: 4:30pm Ken Ono (Emory University) Ramanujan's work has had a truly transformative effect on modern mathematics, and continues to do so...

The Rogers-Ramanujan identities and Monstrous moonshine are among the deepest results which occur at the interface of number theory and representation theory. In this lecture the speaker will discuss these identities, and describe recent work with...

In 1927 Polya proved that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials for Riemann’s Xi-function. This hyperbolicity has only been proved for degrees d=1, 2, 3. We prove the hyperbolicity of 100% of the Jensen...

Borcherds won the Fields medal in 1998 for his proof of the Monstrous Moonshine Conjecture. Loosely speaking, the conjecture asserts that the representation theory of the Monster, the largest sporadic finite simple group, is dictated by the Fourier...
