Colloquium - Michael Larsen
Title: The Circle Method in Algebraic Geometry
Speaker: Michael Larsen - Indiana University
Abstract: Certain counting problems in group theory can be formulated either in terms of varieties over finite fields, or (dually) in terms of irreducible character values. By comparing the two points of view, one can either use geometry to give character estimates or (what I will mostly talk about) character estimates to prove theorems in geometry.
