Ruixiang Zhang is an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics. He works in harmonic analysis on Euclidean spaces and related problems. He is also interested in harmonic analysis on general locally symmetric spaces and in additive combinatorics.

Awards for Zhang include the Gold Medal of the 49th International Mathematics Olympiad, a Silver Medal for his doctoral thesis for the New World Mathematics Awards, and the Frontier of Science Award. He currently holds a Sloan Research Fellowship (2022-24). In 2023, he was awarded the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize for his outstanding contributions in mathematics.

Abstract

Fourier restriction type problems form a class of important problems in harmonic analysis. They are also related to PDE, analytic number theory, geometric measure theory and mathematical physics. In the past 15 years, much progress has been made on these problems. In this talk, we will introduce Fourier restriction type problems and survey some recent results, and then conclude by mentioning some personal favorite future directions.

Stretching and shrinking: 85 years of the Hopf argument for ergodicity
AbstractThe early 20th century witnessed an explosion of activity, much of it centered at Harvard, on rigorizing the property of ergodicity first proposed by Boltzmann in his 1898 Ergodic Hypothesis for ideal gases. Earlier, in the 1880’s, Henri Poincaré and Felix Klein had also initiated a study of discrete groups of hyperbolic isometries. The geodesics in hyperbolic manifolds were discovered...

A Noether-Lefschetz type theorem for spectral varieties with applications
AbstractIn this talk, we will discuss spectral variety and related moduli spaces of Higgs pairs on surfaces. We will first introduce the geometry of moduli of Higgs pairs and the spectral varieties. Indeed, we will talk about the Noether-Lefschetz type problems and the Picard schemes of the spectral varieties. If time permits, the Picard group of generic (very general) spectral varieties and it...
