Abstract: We generalize the work of Harris–Soudry–Taylor, and constructs
Abstract: tba
the compatible system of 2-dimensional ''p''-adic Galois representations
associated to a cuspidal automorphic representation of cohomological type
on GL<sub>2</sub> over a CM field, whose central character satisfies an invariance
condition. A local-global compatibility statement, up to
semi-simplification, can also be proved in this setting. This work relies
crucially on Arthur's results on lifting from the group GSp<sub>4</sub> to GL<sub>4</sub>.

for unitary groups, which generalizes the previous work by Kudla, Kudla–Rapoport–Yang and

higher rank, relates the canonical height of special cycles on certain Shimura varieties
and the central derivatives of ''L''-functions.

Title: Kakeya sets over non-archimedean local rings

Abstract: In a forthcoming paper with Marci Habliscek, we constructed a Kakeya set over the formal power series ring Fq[[t ]], answering a question posed by Ellenberg, Oberlin, and Tao. My talk will be devoted to explaining some of the older history of the Kakeya problem in analysis and the newer history of the Kakeya problem in combinatorics, including my joint work with Marci. In particular, I will give Dvir's solution of the Kakeya problem over finite fields, and explain the problem's extension to other classes of rings.

Title: Computing the Matched Filter in Linear Time

Abstract: In the digital radar problem we design a function (waveform) S(t) in the Hilbert space H = C(Z/p) of complex valued functions on Z/p = {0, ..., p − 1}, the integers modulo a prime number p ≫ 0. We transmit the function S(t) using the radar to the object that we want to detect. The wave S(t) hits the object, and is reflected back via the echo wave R(t) in H, which has the form

R(t) = exp{2πiωt/p}⋅S(t+τ) + W(t),

where W(t) in H is a white noise, and τ, ω in Z/p, encode the distance from, and velocity of, the object.

Problem (digital radar problem) Extract τ, ω from R and S.

In the lecture I first introduce the classical matched filter (MF) algorithm that suggests the 'traditional' way (using fast Fourier transform) to solve the digital radar problem in order of p2⋅log(p) operations. I will then explain how to use techniques from group representation theory and arithmetic to design (construct) waveforms S(t) which enable us to introduce a fast matched filter (FMF) algorithm, that we call the "flag algorithm", which solves the digital radar problem in a much faster way of order of p⋅log(p) operations.

I will demonstrate additional applications to mobile communication, and global positioning system (GPS).

This is a joint work with A. Fish (Math, Madison), R. Hadani (Math, Austin), A. Sayeed (Electrical Engineering, Madison), and O. Schwartz (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Berkeley).

The lecture is suitable for general math/engineering audience.
