SUMMARY:Einstein's Blunder Undone
DESCRIPTION:Just 100 years ago\, Albert Einstein invented a new theory of gravity called “general relativity” and rapidly applied it to the problem of the study of the universe as a whole. To match astronomers’ understanding at the time\, he introduced the cosmological constant\, a mathematical term that allowed for a static universe. In the following decade\, astronomers showed the universe was not static but expanding\, and Einstein banished the cosmological term. However\, in the past 20 years\, astronomers have shown that the universe is not only expanding\, but that this expansion is speeding up. What drives this cosmic acceleration? We call it dark energy\, but it might be very similar to Einstein’s idea from a century ago. \nIn this talk\, Robert Kirshner will show how we discovered cosmic acceleration and present the evidence that we live in a universe that is only 4 percent ordinary matter\, like the atoms of the periodic table\, with the balance divided between mysterious dark energy that speeds up cosmic expansion and equally mysterious dark matter that draws matter together. \nKirshner is the Clowes Professor of Science at Harvard University. This year\, he is on leave at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation in Palo Alto\, heading their science program. He has been a leader in the use of supernova explosions to chart the expansion history of the universe\, winning the 2015 Wolf Prize in Physics for this work. At Harvard\, he served as Master of Quincy House\, an undergraduate residential community\, Astronomy Department chair\, and taught a large undergraduate course for students who were not planning to take any other science courses. A frequent public speaker on science\, he is also author of the popular-audience book The Extravagant Universe: Exploding Stars\, Dark Energy\, and the Accelerating Universe\, which is available in English\, Spanish\, Portuguese\, Japanese\, and Czech.

SUMMARY:Geometry Over Nonclosed Fields (2016)
DESCRIPTION:April 17-23\, 2016\n\n \nOrganizers:\nFedor Bogomolov\, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences\nBrendan Hassett\, Brown University\nYuri Tschinkel\, Simons Foundation \nRelated Links:\n\n2012 Simons Symposium on Geometry Over Nonclosed Fields\n2015 Simons Symposium on Geometry Over Nonclosed Fields\n\nThe focus of this third symposium on Geometry Over Nonclosed Fields was zero-cycles and related Chow-theoretic and birational invariants for higher-dimensional algebraic varieties over various fields. Creative applications of “decomposition of the diagonal”\, in combination with deformation theory and unramifed cohomology\, have led to new proofs of irrationality for complex varieties. We expect these techniques may shed new light on rational points for varieties over non-closed fields\, e.g.\, del Pezzo surfaces over function fields. \nClick here for a PDF of the schedule and participant list\, or see the Agenda and Participants sections below. \n\nAgenda & Slides\n\n\n\nSunday\n \n\n\n 8:00    – 10:00 PM\nDinner\n\n\nMonday\nRationality Problems\n\n\n 9:30    – 11:00 AM\nBreakfast\n\n\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nAsher Auel: Stable rationality of quadric bundles\n\n\n12:00    – 12:30 PM\nBreak\n\n\n12:30    –  1:30 PM\nSujatha Ramdorai: Birational geometry and derived birational invariants (Slides PDF)\n\n\n 1:30    –  2:30 PM\nLunch \n\n\n 2:30    –  4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation\n\n\n 4:30    –  5:00 PM\nAfternoon Tea & Discussion\n\n\n 5:00    –  6:00 PM\nIvan Cheltsov: Rationality and non-rationality of singular Fano threefolds\n\n\n 6:00    –  7:00 PM\nKonstantin Shramov: Fano threefolds with large automorphism groups\n\n\n 8:00    –  9:30 PM\nDinner at the Wintergarden\n\n\n\nTuesday\nArithmetic Problems\n\n\n 9:30    – 11:00 AM\nBreakfast \n\n\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nAntoine Chambert-Loir: Motivic Poisson formula and motivic height zeta functions (Slides PDF)\n\n\n12:00    – 12:30 PM\nBreak\n\n\n12:30    –  1:30 PM\nJulia Hartmann: Local-Global Principles for Rational Points on Homogeneous Varieties (Slides PDF)\n\n\n 1:30    –  2:30 PM\nLunch \n\n\n 2:30    –  4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation\n\n\n 4:30    –  5:00 PM\nAfternoon Tea & Discussion\n\n\n 5:00    –  6:00 PM\nBruno Kahn: Torsion index of algebraic surfaces\n\n\n 6:00    –  7:00 PM\nRaman Parimala: Unramified cohomology of quadric bundles over surfaces\n\n\n 8:00    –  9:30 PM\nDinner \n\n\n\nWednesday\nAutomorphisms\n\n\n 8:00    –  9:30 AM\nBreakfast\n\n\n10:00 AM –  2:00 PM\nGuided Hike to Partnach Gorge\n\n\n 2:00    –  3:00 PM\nLunch\n\n\n 3:00    –  5:00 PM\nRecreation & Discussion\n\n\n 5:00    –  5:30 PM\nTea & Discussion\n\n\n 5:30    –  6:30 PM\nMisha Verbitsky: Constructing automorphisms of hyperkahler manifolds (Slides PDF)\n\n\n 7:00    –  8:00 PM\nConcert\n\n\n 8:00    –  9:30 PM\nDinner \n\n\n\nThursday\nCohomology\n\n\n 9:30    – 11:00 AM\nBreakfast\n\n\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nJean-Louis Colliot-Thélène: A survey on unramified cohomology (Slides PDF)\n\n\n12:00    – 12:30 PM\nBreak\n\n\n12:30    –  1:30 PM\nPhilippe Gille: Serre’s conjecture II for groups of type E7 (Slides PDF)\n\n\n 1:30    –  2:30 PM\nLunch \n\n\n 2:30    –  4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation\n\n\n 4:30    –  5:00 PM\nAfternoon Tea & Discussion\n\n\n 5:00    –  6:00 PM\nHélène Esnault: Lefschetz theorems (mostly) over finite fields\n\n\n 6:00    –  7:00 PM\nAlena Pirutka: Rationality in families and quadric bundles (Slides PDF)\n\n\n 8:00    –  9:30 PM\nDinner\n\n\n\nFriday\nGeometry Over the Reals\n\n\n 9:30    – 11:00 AM\nBreakfast\n\n\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nOlivier Wittenberg: On the integral Hodge conjecture for real threefolds\n\n\n12:00    – 12:30 PM\nBreak\n\n\n12:30    –  1:30 PM\nOlivier Benoist: On Hilbert’s 17th problem in low degree\n\n\n 1:30    –  2:30 PM\nLunch \n\n\n 2:30    –  4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation\n\n\n 4:30    –  5:00 PM\nAfternoon Tea & Discussion\n\n\n 5:00    –  6:30 PM\nDiscussion \n\n\n 8:00    –  9:30 PM\nDinner at Kaminstüberl\n\n\nParticipants\n\n\n\nAsher Auel\nYale University\n\n\nArnaud Beauville\nUniversité de Nice\n\n\nOlivier Benoist\nUniversité de Strasbourg \n\n\nFedor Bogomolov\nCourant Institute of Mathematical Sciences\n\n\nAntoine Chambert-Loir\nUniversité Paris-Sud \n\n\nIvan Cheltsov\nUniversity of Edinburgh and Moscow Higher School of Economics\n\n\nJean-Louis Colliot-Thélène\nUniversité Paris-Sud \n\n\n Hélène Esnault\nFreie Universität Berlin\n\n\nPhilippe Gille\nUniversite Claude Bernard Lyon 1\n\n\nJulia Hartmann\nUniversity of Pennsylvania\n\n\nBrendan Hassett\nBrown University\n\n\nDaniel Huybrechts\nUniversity of Bonn\n\n\nBruno Kahn\nInstitute de Mathematiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche\n\n\nMoritz Kerz\nUniversität Regensburg\n\n\nAndrew Kresch\nUniversität Zürich\n\n\nAlena Pirutka\nCentre de Mathématiques Laurent Schwartz\n\n\nYuri Prokhorov\nNational Research University\n\n\nParimala Raman\nEmory University\n\n\nSujatha Ramdorai\nTata Institute of Fundamental Research\n\n\nKonstantin Shramov\nMoscow Higher School of Economics\n\n\nYuri Tschinkel\nSimons Foundation\n\n\nTony Varilly-Alvarado\nRice University\n\n\nMisha Verbitsky\nMoscow Higher School of Economics\n\n\nOlivier Wittenberg\nÉcole Normale Supérieure\n\n\n\n \n« Back to Simons Symposia

SUMMARY:Integrability and Universality in Probability
DESCRIPTION:Integrability and universality are key concepts that underlie many developments in modern probability. Integrable probabilistic systems are very special — they possess additional structures that make them amenable to a detailed analysis. The universality principle states that probabilistic systems from the same ‘universality class’ share many features. Thus\, generic systems must be similar to the integrable ones in the class. In this lecture\, Alexei Borodin will illustrate how these two concepts work together in examples from random matrices to random interface growth. \nDr. Borodin joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty as professor of mathematics in 2010. He studies problems on the interface of representation theory and probability that link to combinatorics\, random matrix theory and integrable systems.

SUMMARY:One Brain\, Many Genomes: Somatic Mutation and Genomic Variability in Human Cerebral Cortex
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Walsh and his team are interested in genetic mechanisms of cerebral cortical development and abnormalities of cortical development resulting in intellectual disability\, autism and epilepsy. The lab pioneered the analysis of recessive causes of autism by studying children with autism whose parents share ancestry. \nWalsh will review recent work on ‘somatic mutations’ — de novo mutations that are present in some brain cells but not in all cells of the body — in several neurological conditions associated with intellectual disability and seizures. The talk will also cover the extent to which somatic mutations are an inevitable part of normal brain development\, such that the neurons in the human brain are a tapestry of cells with distinct genomes. He will also discuss the relevance of somatic mutations to autism. \nWalsh is chief of the division of genetics and genomics at Boston Children’s Hospital\, Bullard Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology at Harvard Medical School\, and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He completed his M.D. and Ph.D. at the University of Chicago\, trained in neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital\, and has been at Children’s Hospital since 2006.
