Postdoc Lunch Time Talks

Time: 12:00PM - 12:20PM

Location: BLOC 220

Speaker: Shilin Yu, Texas A&M University

Description:

Title: Quantization and representation theory



Abstract: Coadjoint orbit method, originally proposed by Kirillov and Kostant, conjectures that irreducible unitary representations of a real reductive Lie group can be obtained via `quantization' of coadjoint orbits of the group. I will explain a new way to understand the term `quantization'.

Postdoc Lunch Time Talks

Speaker: Rob Rahm, Texas A&M University

Description:

Title: One Dimensional Schroedinger Operators, Canonical Systems, and Reimann Zeta Function



Abstract: We will discuss connections between spectral theory for one dimensional differential operators and the Riemann Zeta function.

Postdoc Lunch Time Talks

Time: 12:55PM - 1:15PM

Location: BLOC 220

Speaker: Hao Guo, Texas A&M University

Description:

Title: Dirac Operators with Potential



Abstract: I will give some examples that illustrate the index theory of Dirac-type operators with a potential term. Such operators provide examples of elliptic Fredholm operators on manifolds that are non-compact, and furthermore generalize nicely to the equivariant setting. As such, they could be studied from the point of view of operator algebras, representation theory, and also mathematical physics. I give an example of an application of Dirac-type operators with potential to topology.
