• ### Algebra Seminar

Monday January 28, 2019 at 13:30, Wachman 617
Paschke Categories, K-homology and the Riemann-Roch Transformation

Khashayar Sartipi, University of Illinois at Chicago

For a separable C^*-algebra A, we introduce an exact C^*-category called the Paschke Category of A, which is completely functorial in A, and show that its K-theory groups are isomorphic to the topological K-homology groups of the C^*-algebra A. Then we use the Dolbeault complex and ideas from the classical methods in Kasparov K-theory to construct an acyclic chain complex in this category, which in turn, induces a Riemann-Roch transformation in the homotopy category of spectra, from the algebraic K-theory spectrum of a complex manifold X, to its topological K-homology spectrum. This talk is based on the preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.11951

• ### Analysis Seminar

Monday January 28, 2019 at 14:40, Wachman 617

Francisco Villarroya, Temple University

I will introduce a Tb Theorem that characterizes all Calderón-Zygmund operators that extend compactly on $L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ by means of testing functions as general as possible. In the classical theory of boundedness, the testing functions satisfy a non-degeneracy property called accretivity, which essentially implies the existence of a positive lower bound for the absolute value of the averages of the testing functions over all dyadic cubes. However, in the the setting of compact operators, due to their better properties, the hypothesis of accretivity can be relaxed to a large extend. As a by-product, the results also describe those Calderon-Zygmund operators whose boundedness can be checked with non-accretive testing functions.

Fractional Gaussian fields in geometric quantization and the semi-classical analysis of coherent states

Alexander Moll, Northeastern University

The Born Rule (1926) formalized in von Neumann's spectral theorem (1932) gives a precise definition of the random outcomes of quantum measurements as random variables from the spectral theory of non-random matrices. In [M. 2017], the Born rule provided a way to derive limit shapes and global fractional Gaussian field fluctuations for a large class of point processes from the first principles of geometric quantization and semi-classical analysis of coherent states. Rather than take a point process as a starting point, these point process are realized as auxiliary objects in an analysis that starts instead from a classical Hamiltonian system with possibly infinitely-many degrees of freedom that is not necessarily Liouville integrable. In this talk, we present these results with a focus on the case of one degree of freedom, where the core ideas in the arguments are faithfully represented.

Circle packings and Delaunay circle patterns for complex projective structures

Andrew Yarmola, Princeton University

Abstract: At the interface of discrete conformal geometry and the study of Riemann surfaces lies the Koebe-Andreev-Thurston theorem. Given a triangulation of a surface $S$, this theorem produces a unique hyperbolic structure on $S$ and a geometric circle packing whose dual is the given triangulation. In this talk, we explore an extension of this theorem to the space of complex projective structures - the family of maximal $CP^1$-atlases on $S$ up to Möbius equivalence. Our goal is to understand the space of all circle packings on complex projective structures with a fixed dual triangulation. As it turns out, this space is no longer a unique point and evidence suggests that it is homeomorphic to Teichmüller space via uniformization - a conjecture by Kojima, Mizushima, and Tan. In joint work with Jean-Marc Schlenker, we show that this projection is proper, giving partial support for the conjectured result. Our proof relies on geometric arguments in hyperbolic ends and allows us to work with the more general notion of Delaunay circle patterns, which may be of separate interest. I will give an introductory overview of the definitions and results and demonstrate some software used to motivate the conjecture. If time permits, I will discuss additional ongoing work with Wayne Lam.
