Vertex algebras and moduli of curves

IAS - Simonyi Hall Seminar Room SH-101 / 10:52 AM - 11:52 AM

This talk will focus on geometric realizations of vertex algebras. The Virasoro uniformization provides an incarnation of the Virasoro algebra in the tangent… See Full Abstract

Volumes and intersection theory on moduli spaces of Abelian differentials

IAS - Simonyi Hall Seminar Room SH-101 / 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Computing volumes of moduli spaces has significance in many fields. For instance, Witten's conjecture regarding intersection numbers on the Deligne–Mumford moduli… See Full Abstract

A non-archimedean Ax–Lindemann theorem

Fine Hall 314 / 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

A significant step in the Pila–Zannier approach to the André–Oort conjecture is a geometric transcendence result for the uniformization map of modular curves. I… See Full Abstract
