During this talk, we will restrict ourselves to the Tate curve, the total space of a degeneration of elliptic curves to a nodal elliptic curve. To understand the symplectic cohomology of the Tate curve (minus its central fiber), we will go through the Fukaya category of the elliptic curve and describe this category using tropical Morse trees introduced by Abouzaid-Gross-Siebert.

Europe/Rome 2018-12-17 11:00:00 2018-12-17 12:00:00 Maximal and Variational Fourier Restriction Theory Müller, Ricci, and Wright recently established the first "maximal restriction theorem" for the Fourier transform. As a direct consequence, they clarified certain subtle measure theoretic aspects underlying Fourier restriction theory. In the first part of this talk, we will give a brief introduction to the restriction problem, and illustrate its importance in modern analysis. We will then focus on the endpoint Tomas-Stein inequality in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, together with its maximal and variational variants, for which especially simple proofs are available. Finally, we will describe a recent generalisation, and present some open problems. This is partly based on joint work with Vjekoslav Kovac. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it 17 Dec 2018

The aim of this talk is to present a generalization of Soergel category attached to a Coxeter group of type A_2. While Soergel category counts a generating bimodule per simple reflection, this generalization is obtained by taking one generator per reflection. I will give a complete description of this category through a classification of its indecomposable objects and study its split Grothendieck ring. This gives rise to an algebra which is a quotient of the corresponding affine Hecke algebra of type A_2, that can be presented by generators and relations. This is joint work with Thomas Gobet.
