AbstractThe shrinking target problem concerns the sizes of the sets of the points in a metric space whose orbits under a transformation fall into a family of shrinking subsets infinitely often. We study such problems for matrices with real coefficients which are transformations on the d-dimensional torus. We obtain a zero-one law for the Lebesgue measure of the corresponding shrinking target se...
AbstractSpecial nilpotent orbits play a key role in representation theory, but their geometry is little understood. I'll first report a joint work with Yongbin Ruan and Yaoxiong Wen proposing a mirror symmetry conjecture for special nilpotent orbits and then a joint work with Daniel Juteau, Paul Levy and Eric Sommers on the proof of sliced version of Lusztig's conjecture on special pieces
