For a complex projective variety, the Lefschetz standard conjectures predict the existence of algebraic self-correspondences that are inverse to the hard Lefschetz isomorphisms. They have broad implications for Hodge theory and the theory of motives...

Cubic fourfolds have been classically studied up to birational equivalence, with a view toward the rationality problem. The Fano variety of lines F(X) on a cubic fourfold X is a hyperkähler manifold, and the rationality of X is conjecturally captured...

We will discuss a class of ideals in a polynomial ring studied by Mark Haiman in his work on the Hilbert scheme of points and discuss how they are related to homology of affine Springer fibers, Khovanov-Rozansky homology of links, and to the ORS...

The Rudin-Shapiro polynomials $p_{m}$ were first studied by Rudin, Shapiro, and Golay independently nearly 80 years ago and are defined recursively by $p_{0}(x) = q_{0}(x) = 1$ and $$ p_{m}(x) = p_{m-1}(x) + x^{2^{m-1}} q_{m-1}(x), $$ $$ q_{m}(x) = p...

A guiding question in arithmetic statistics is: Given a degree $n$ and a Galois group $G$ in $S_n$, how does the count of number fields of degree $n$ whose normal closure has Galois group $G$ grow as their discriminants tend to infinity? In this talk...

In 1974, Briançon and Skoda answered a question of Mather, showing that for $I=(f_1,\dots,f_n)$ an ideal of the coordinate ring at a smooth point on a complex algebraic variety, there is a containment $\overline{I^{n+k-1}}\subseteq I^k$ for all $k...

Let $K$ be an algebraic number field. The Primitive Element Theorem implies that the number field $K$ can be generated over the field of rational numbers by a single element of $K$. We call such an element a generator of $K$. A simple and natural...

In this talk we see how representation theory can be used in numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs) and how numerics can give more efficient methods for computational problems in representation theory. In particular, we will see...

Isogenies between elliptic curves have attracted a lot of attention, and over finite fields the structures that they generate are fascinating. For supersingular primes, isogeny graphs are very connected. For ordinary primes, isogeny graphs have a lot...

We investigate the Steklov eigenvalue problem in the exterior of a bounded Euclidean domain. In particular, we prove the equivalence of several formulations of this problem previously proposed in the literature. We derive geometric eigenvalue...

In this tutorial, we will walk through the basic of AI methodology such as Physics Informed Neural Network (PINNs), Neural Operator, etc for solving physical problems. i.e., PDE problem. We will introduce PhysicsNeMo, an SDK for training PINNs and...
