The 3x+1 Problem is a long-standing conjecture. Let T be 
a map from the positive integers into itself, where T(x)=x/2 if x is even 
and T(x) = (3x+1)/2 if x is odd. The conjecture asks whether, under 
iteration of the map T, any positive integer eventually reaches the value 
one. This talk gives a survey of the various approaches and results, 
intersecting areas such as number theory, dynamical systems, and 
functional equations. The speaker's approach involving generating
functions is also presented.

Torsion (of a manifold) as a function on the variety of representations (of its fundamental group)

MPIM Lecture Hall
Parent event: 
Higher Differential Geometry Seminar

I will describe an invariant for a smooth manifold with some additional topological structure. This will be a meromorphic function on the algebraic set of complex representations of its fundamental group defined using either spectral geometry (of a Riemannian metric) or a triangulation or the dynamics of a nice vector field.

Seminar on Algebra, Geometry and Physics

In recent work with S. Naito, D. Sagaki, A. Schilling, and M. Shimozono, we show that in all untwisted affine types the specialization of a Macdonald polynomial at t=0 is the graded character of a tensor product of one-column Kirillov-Reshetikhin (KR) modules.
