The uniform distribution of a sequence $\{x_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ measures the pseudo-random behavior at a global scale. At a more localized scale, we can study the pair correlation for sequences in the unit interval. Pseudo-random behavior with respect to this statistic is called Poissonian behavior.

An aspherical manifold is a manifold whose universal cover is contractible, i.e. a K(\pi,1)-manifold. Borel conjectured that any two closed aspherical manifolds with isomorphic fundamental groups are homeomorphic, in fact, that the structure set of an aspherical manifold is trivial. Wall asked if a K(\pi,1)-space which satisfies Poincare duality is homotopy equivalent to a closed manifold.

Surgery Theory and 4-manifolds

Parent event: 
MPIM Topology Seminar
I will talk about applications of surgery theory to classifications results in 4-manifolds.
 
This is the second of three talks in the following series. 
 
Series title: Applied surgery
Series abstract: Surgery is the key tool for classifying manifolds, up to homeomorphism or diffeomorphism. This sequence of talks will give an introduction to this tool, and then apply
it to specific questions in four manifold topology.

An introduction to surgery

Parent event: 
MPIM Topology Seminar
The goal of this survey talk is to provide an introduction to surgery theory.  Generally speaking, surgery theory is concerned with the classification of high-dimensional manifolds, where high means greater or equal to 4.  Surgery allows us to study the existence and uniqueness of manifold structures within a prescribed homotopy type, dealing with the following questions:
 
1) "Can we find a manifold within a homotopy type?"  
2) "When is a homotopy equivalence of m-dimensional manifolds homotopic to a homeomorphism?"
 

Geometry without spaces: a hyperbolic parable

Parent event: 
Oberseminar Differentialgeometrie

We revisit old ideas that are shared by functional analysts and logicians alike, in order to do hyperbolic geometry without bothering with practicalities such as spaces or dimension.

Our main interest will be the interplay between (real or complex) hyperbolic geometry and group representations.

This is a progress report on my work with Kilian Bönisch and Albrecht Klemm.
We study explicit modular fibrations of rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds occurring as fibers in hypergeometric families similar to the one constructed from the mirror quintic.

In this talk I will discuss how to extend skein algebras into skein categories and interpret these skein categories as factorisation homology theories before returning again to algebras.

Arf invariants in low dimensions

Michael Klug
Affiliation: 
Berkeley/MPIM
Date:

Parent event: 
MPIM Topology Seminar

I will briefly discuss some work in progress regarding a relationship between several different mod 2 invariants in dimensions 2, 3, and 4. In particular, I will relate the Arf invariant of a knot, the Arf invariant of a characteristic surface, the Rochlin invariant of a homology sphere, and the Kirby-Siebenmann invariant of a 4-manifold.

How often does the ring of integers of a real quadratic field have a unit with norm -1? In 1995
Peter Stevenhagen proposed a precise conjectural asymptotic formula describing how many such real quadratic fields should be out there when counted by discriminant. I will discuss a joint upcoming work with Peter Koymans where we establish Stevenhagen's conjecture.
