We prove a smooth version of the classical Schwarz reflection principle for CR  mappings between an abstract CR manifold and a generic CR manifold embedded in euclidean complex space. Our results settle a conjecture of  X. Huang. The talk is based on a recent joint work with Ming Xiao.

The Harder-Narasimhan Filtration on Kisin Modules

Speaker: 

Carl Wang Erickson

Institution: 

Brandeis University

Time: 

Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - 2:00pm

Location: 

RH 340P

We will introduce the notion of slope filtration through examples, including the Harder-Narasimhan filtration on finite flat group schemes due to Fargues. We will then introduce Kisin modules, a certain generalization of finite flat group schemes, and describe a slope filtration on Kisin modules. This is joint work with Brandon Levin. 

Clubs, diamonds, and saturated ideals II

Speaker: 

Monroe Eskew

We continue with the presentation of two different ways to generically add a club subset of a successor cardinal, under some GCH.  The first one is designed to destroy a given stationary set, and we show that it also forces diamond.  The second adds a club with "small" conditions and destroys saturated ideals.  We will discuss the open problem of whether this can be done without any cardinal arithmetic assumptions.

The bootstrap multiscale analysis and localization for multi-particle continuous Anderson Hamiltonians

Speaker: 

Son Nguyen

We extend the bootstrap multiscale analysis to multi-particle continuous Anderson Hamiltonians, obtaining Anderson localization with finite multiplicity of eigenvalues, a strong form of dynamical localization, and decay of eigenfunction correlations. (Joint work with Abel Klein)

Critical metrics on connected sums of Einstein four-manifolds

I will discuss a gluing procedure designed to obtain canonical metrics on connected sums of Einstein four-manifolds. The main application is an existence result, using two well-known Einstein manifolds as building blocks: the Fubini-Study metric on CP^2, and the product metric on S^2 x S^2. Using these metrics in various gluing configurations, critical metrics are found on connected sums for a specific Riemannian functional, which depends on the global geometry of the factors. This is joint work with Matt Gursky.

Regularity for almost minimizers with free boundary

Speaker: 

Tatiana Toro

University of Washington at Seattle

In recent work with Guy David we introduce the notion of almost
minimizer for a series of functionals previously studied by Alt-Caffarelli
and Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman.

We prove regularity results for these almost minimizers and explore the
structure of the corresponding free boundary. A key ingredient in the study
of the 2-phase problem is the existence of almost monotone quantities. The
goal of this talk is to present these results in a self-contained manner,
emphasizing both the similarities and differences between minimizers and
almost minimizers.

The p-adic Eichler-Shimura isomorphism

Speaker: 

Preston Wake

Institution: 

University of Chicago

Location: 

RH 340P

A theorem of Eichler and Shimura says that the space of cusp forms with complex coefficients appears as a direct summand of the cohomology of the compactified modular curve. Ohta has proven an analog of this theorem for the space of ordinary p-adic cusp forms with integral coefficients. Ohta's result has important applications in the Iwasawa theory of cyclotomic fields.

We discuss a new proof of Ohta's result using the geometry of Hecke correspondences at places of bad reduction.
