May 13, 2020 3:00 pmI would like to explain a classification result for p-divisible groups, which unifies many of the existing results in the literature. The main tool is the theory of prisms and...

May 6, 2020 3:00 pm Langlands functoriality predicts the transfer of automorphic representations along maps of L-groups. In particular, the symmetric power representation Symm^{n-1} of GL(2) should give rise to a lifting from automorphic representations...

February 26, 2020 3:00 pmOne of the fundamental challenges in number theory is to understand the intricate way in which the additive and multiplicative structures in the integers intertwine. We will explore a dynamical...

February 19, 2020 3:00 pmWe consider the family of normal octic fields with Galois group $D_4$, ordered by their discriminant. In forthcoming joint work with Arul Shankar, we verify the strong form of Malle's conjecture for this family of...

February 12, 2020 3:00 pmEvery Newton polygon satisfying the Kottwitz conditions occurs on Shimura varieties of PEL-type in positive characteristic (Viehmann/Wedhorn). In most cases, it is not known whether these Newton polygon strata contain...
