“Monopoles and S1-invariant instantons”

Abstract

Talk 1. Mohamed El Alami - 1:00pm

Pure Mathematics Department, University of Waterloo

“Introduction to schemes, part 2”

The theory of sheaves that was presented in the first talk will be used to introduce ringed spaces, locally ringed spaces and their morphisms. The structure sheaf on Spec R will be revisited to reveal some of its properties that will motivate the definition of schemes. The last part of the talk will cover some examples and properties of schemes.

“Representations of sl(3;C), again”

Continuing from last time, we describe the possible weights of a representation of sl(3;C), give a complete classification of such representations, and in the process, work through a few illuminating examples.

“Noether’s theorem in Lagrangian mechanics”

Yitang (Tom) Zhang, University of New Hampshire

"Small gaps between primes and primes in arithmetic progressions"

A major ingredient of the proof is a stronger version of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem which asserts that the primes are well distributed in arithmetic progressions to large moduli. This result is of independent interest and it relies on the Riemann Hypothesis for varieties over finite fields.
