About the lecture 

Beyond uniform distribution

Abstract

The study of uniform distribution of sequences is more than a century old, with pioneering work by Hardy and Littlewood, Weyl, van der Corput and others. More recently, the focus of research has shifted to much finer quantities, such as the distribution of nearest neighbor gaps and the pair correlation function. Examples of interesting sequences for which these quantities have been studied include the zeros of the Riemann zeta function, energy levels of quantum systems, and more. In this expository talk, I will discuss what is known and discuss the many outstanding problems that this theory has to offer.

      Geometry of the P=W conjecture and beyond

      AbstractGiven a compact Riemann surface C, nonabelian Hodge theory relates topological and algebro-geometric objects associated to C. Specifically, complex representations of the fundamental group are in correspondence with algebraic vector bundles on C, equipped with an extra structure called a Higgs field.This gives a transcendental matching between two very different moduli spaces for C: the...
