Spectra of Lie groups and application to L^2-invariants

Time：Tues., 20:00-20:30

Speaker：Zhicheng Han (Georg-August-Universität)

Abstract:

In this talk, I will explore the Laplace operator and Dirac operator on semisimple Lie groups. While the parallel problem on symmetric spaces has been well-studied in the last century, the corresponding problem is much less understood in general homogeneous spaces. We will examine the obstacles in extending existing techniques and discuss how some of them can be resolved in the case of group manifolds. Towards the end, we will see how the spectra data shall aid in computing certain topological L^2-invariants.

Limit theorems on nilpotent Lie groups
Abstract:I will present limit theorems for random walks on nilpotent Lie groups, obtained in a recent work with Emmanuel Breuillard. Most works on the topic assumed the step distribution of the walk to be centered in the abelianization of the group. Our main contribution is to authorize non-centered step distributions. In this case, new phenomena emerge: the large-scale geometry of the walk dep...
