Summary

January 25 and February 2
Title:Introduction to local geometric Langlands correspondence.
Speaker: Sergey Arkhipov (U. of Totonto)
Abstract: In these talks we will make an attempt to formulate the local geometric Langlands conjecture following the recent works of D. Gaitsgory and E.Frenkel.

March 1
Title: The Ehrhart formula for symbols and a generalization of Euler's constant.
Speaker: Shlomo Sternberg (Harvard U.)
Abstract: We derive an Ehrhart formula for symbols from the Euler-MacLaurin formula with remainder for simple polytopes. A constant appears in this formula which is a generalization of Euler's constant.

March 8
Title: Multiplicity one upon restriction.
Speaker: Jeff Adler (U. of Akron and U. of Toronto)
Abstract: Suppose $G$ is a quasisplit $p$-adic group, and $G'$ is its derived group. Conjecturally, the restriction to $G'$ of an irreducible, admissible representation of $G$ should decompose without multiplicity. I will present a simple proof of this fact when $G$ is the group of symplectic or orthogonal similitudes.

March 15
Title: Equivalence of tame supercuspidal representations.
Speaker: Fiona Murnaghan (U. of Toronto)
Abstract: Suppose that G is a reductive p-adic group that splits over a tamely ramified extension. We will describe a result that gives necessary and sufficient conditions for equivalence of two tame supercuspidal representations of G. These conditions are expressed in terms of properties of the G-data used in constructing the representations. Some examples will be discussed. We will also indicate how the criterion for equivalence may be used to give a new parametrization of tame supercuspidal representations.

March 31
Title: Translation inviariant measure on arithmetic loop spaces and local zeta integral of two dimensional arithmetic schemes.
Speaker: Ivan Fesenko (Univ. of Nottingham)
Abstract: I will sketch main strands of a programme aimed to prove meromorphic continuation, functional equation of L-function of elliptic curve over a global field using a new translation invariant measure and harmonic analysis on arithmetic loop spaces, and its applications to the Riemann hypothesis in dimension two. The talk can be of interest to number theorists, representation theorists, alg geometers, analysts, and mathematical physicists.
