Abstract: By use of recent ideas of Petridis, we extend Plunnecke inequalities for sumsets of finite sets in abelian groups to the setting of measure-preserving systems. The main difference in the new setting is that instead of a finite set of translates we have an analogous inequality for a countable set of translates. As an application, by use of Furstenberg correspondence principle, we obtain new Plunnecke type inequalities for lower and upper Banach density in countable abelian groups. Joint work with Michael Bjorklund, Chalmers.

Abstract: We exhibit a numerical method to compute three-point branched covers of the complex projective line.  We develop algorithms for working explicitly with Fuchsian triangle groups and their finite index subgroups, and we use these algorithms to compute power series expansions of modular forms on these groups.  This is joint work with Michael Klug, Michael Musty, and Sam Schiavone.

1) Asymptotic representation theory of an arithmetic lattice ''G''('''Z'''). More precisely, the question of how many ''n''-dimensional representations does ''G''('''Z''') have.
2) The distribution of a random commutator in the ''p''-adic analytic group ''G''('''Z'''<sub>''p''</sub>).
3) The complex geometry of the moduli spaces of ''G''-local systems on a Riemann surface, and, more precisely, the structure of its singularities.

Abstract: While we know by Faltings' theorem that curves of genus at least 2 have finitely many rational points, his theorem is not effective. In 1985, Coleman showed that Chabauty's method, which works when the Mordell-Weil rank of the Jacobian of the curve is small, can be used to give a good effective bound on the number of rational points of curves of genus g > 1. In this talk, we draw ideas from tropical geometry to show that we can also give an effective bound on the number of rational points of Sym^d(X) that are not parametrized by a projective space or a coset of an abelian variety, where X is a curve of genus g > d, when the Mordell-Weil rank of the Jacobian of the curve is at most g-d.

Abstract: Venkatesh proposed a strategy to prove the subconvexity bound in the level aspect for triple product ''L''-function. With the integral representation of triple product ''L''-function, if one can get an upper bound for the global integral and a lower bound for the local integrals, then one can get an upper bound for the ''L''-function, which turns out to be a subconvexity bound. Such a subconvexity bound was obtained essentially for representations of square free level. I will talk about how to generalize this result to the case with higher ramifications as well as joint ramifications.

Abstract: I will give a survey of a circle of results relating L-functions and algebraic cycles, starting with the Gross-Zagier formula and its various generalizations. This will lead naturally to a certain case of the Bloch-Beilinson conjecture which is closely related to Gross-Zagier but where one does not have a construction of the expected cycles. Finally, I will hint at a plausible construction of cycles in this "missing" case, which is joint work with A. Ichino, and explain what one can likely prove about them.

explain how exploiting the geometry of ''M'', and in particular the
stratification induced by the partial Hasse invariants, one can attach
Galois representations to Hecke eigen-classes occurring in the coherent
cohomology of ''M''. This is a joint work with Matthew Emerton and Liang Xiao.

Abstract:  We use geometry-of-numbers techniques to show that the average size of the 5-Selmer group of

elliptic curves is equal to 6. From this, we deduce an upper bound on the average rank of elliptic curves.
Then, by constructing families of elliptic curves with equidistributed root number we show that the average rank is
less than 1. This is joint work with Manjul Bhargava.

Abstract:  We will consider the question of the distribution of the Jacobians of random curves over finite fields.  Over a finite field, given a curve, we can associate to it the (finite) group of
ABSTRACT
degree 0 line bundles on the curve.  This is the function field analog of the class group of a number field.
We will discuss the relationship to the Cohen Lenstra heuristics for the distribution of class groups.  If the curve is reducible, a natural quotient of the Jacobian is the group of components, and we will focus on this aspect.  We are thus led to study Jacobians of random graphs, which go by many names (including the sandpile group and the critical group) as they have arisen in a wide variety of contexts.  We discuss new work proving a conjecture of Payne that Jacobians of random graphs satisfy a modified Cohen-Lenstra type heuristic.
