SMRI Algebra and Geometry Online ’Geometric Satake over KU’ Gus Lonergan (A Priori Investment Management LLC) Thursday Jun 24, 2021 09:00 AM - 10:30 AM (AEST) Online via Zoom Register: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEtc--hqj0uG9Ga57aaP1AHMtEJEiMqW4WS Abstract: We describe a K-theoretic version of the equivariant constructible derived category. We state (with evidence!) a ’geometric Satake’ conjecture relating its value on the affine Grassmannian to representations of the Langlands dual group. About the Speaker: Gus Lonergan is the Chief Mathematician at A Priori Investment Management LLC. He was previously a L.E. Dickson Instructor in the mathematics department at the University of Chicago. He is interested in representation theory. Lonergan completed his PhD at MIT under Roman Bezrukavnikov; the thesis was an attempt to understand mod p phenomena in algebraic topology in the context of geometric representation theory. He attended Cambridge University for his undergraduate and master’s degree. He plays a little music on the side. Note: These seminars will be recorded, including participant questions (participants only when asking questions), and uploaded to the SMRI YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/SydneyMathematicalResearchInstituteSMRI
