This fundamental question is intimately connected to important topics and results in combinatorics and computer science (Turan number, Sauer-Shelah Lemma, Kahn-Kalai-Linial Theorem, and more), and is wide open for most settings of the parameters. We essentially settle the question for linear k and sub-exponential m. <br><br>Based on joint work with Noga Alon and Noam Solomon.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=129124">http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=129124</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br><br>2 Symplectic methods for sharp systolic inequalities <br> Umberto Hryniewicz <br><br><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In this talk I would like to explain how methods from symplectic geometry can be used to obtain sharp systolic inequalities. I will focus on two applications. The first is the proof of a conjecture due to Babenko-Balacheff on the local systolic maximality of the round 2-sphere. The second is the proof of a perturbative version of Viterbo's conjecture on the systolic ratio of convex energy levels. If time permits I will also explain how to show that general systolic inequalities do not exist in contact geometry.

Starting from any closed surface, the flow exists uniquely for a short period of time, but always develops singularities in finite time. In this talk, we discuss some non-uniqueness problems of the mean curvature flow passing through singularities. The talk is mainly prepared for non-specialists of geometric flows.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=141179">http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=141179</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br><br>4 The Eigencurve at Eisenstein weight one points <br> Alice Pozzi <br><br><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In 1973, Serre observed that the Hecke eigenvalues of Eisenstein series can be p-adically interpolated. In other words, Eisenstein series can be viewed as specializations of a p-adic family parametrized by the weight. The notion of p-adic variations of modular forms was later generalized by Hida to include families of ordinary cuspforms. In 1998, Coleman and Mazur defined the eigencurve, a rigid analytic space classifying much more general p-adic families of Hecke eigenforms parametrized by the weight. The local nature of the eigencurve is well-understood at points corresponding to cuspforms of weight k ™ 2, while the weight one case is far more intricate. <br><br>In this talk, we discuss the geometry of the eigencurve at weight one Eisenstein points. In particular, we focus on the unusual phenomenon in which cuspidal Hida families specialize to Eisenstein series at weight one. Our approach consists in studying the deformation rings of certain (deceptively simple!) Artin representations. We discuss how this Galois-theoretic method yields some new insight on Gross’s formula relating the leading term of the p-adic L-function to p-adic logarithms of units of certain number fields.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=142554">http://www.math.ias.edu/seminars/abstract?event=142554</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br><br>5 Multiplicity of Eigenvalues for the circular clamped plate problem. <br> Dan Mangoubi <br><br><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A celebrated theorem of C.L.

More precisely, Siegel shows that positive zeros of Bessel functions are transcendental. <br><br>We study the fourth order clamped plate problem, showing that the multiplicity of eigenvalues is uniformly bounded (by not more than six).
