All seminars

Thursdays 14:00-15:00

A venue for invited and local speakers to present their research on topics surrounding algebraic geometry and number theory, broadly conceived. All meetings start at 14:10 sharp and end at 15:10. Meetings are held in the subterranean room -101. We expect to broadcast most meetings over Zoom at the URL

However, if at all possible, attendees are asked to come in person.

In the seminar we will follow new developments in the theory of automorphic representations with touches on the theory of representations of p-adic and real groups and harmonic analysis on spherical varities. This year we will focus on the study of the new work of BZSV which links symplectic geometry to the theory of periods of automorphic forms and a relative version of Langlades conjectures

מטרת הסמינר להציג את מחקר אנשי הסגל במחלקה לסטודנטים לתואר ראשון. ככלל, החומר שיוצג יהיה ברמה של שנה ב ומעלה, אבל כולם מוזמנים

We will be reading Lurie’s paper on ultra-categories, a reformulation of Makkai’s result on the structure of the category of models of a first-order theory. We will also use the course notes

INCA is a joint online seminar by BGU, Haifa U, and the Technion. The talks are research-level talks on various topics from C^*-algebras, more general operator algebras, noncommutative convexity, nc function theory, and related topics. The website of the seminar is:

The seminar is organized by Adam Dor-On (Haifa U), Orr Shalit (Technion), and Eli Shamovich (BGU).

This is a learning seminar. The goal is to understand the results on C-simplicity of groups by Kennedy-Kalantar and other works. We will start by reviewing some theory of C-algebras. Then, we will learn operator systems and the important Arveson extension and Stinespring dilation theorems. The we will study injective envelopes in the category of operators systems. Lastly, we will try to understand the connection to Furstenberg boundary and C*-simplicity
