Abstract:With less than 10 years left to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is more important than ever for the global community to mobilise for accelerated action. With the broad remit comprising the creation and dissemination of knowledge and the unique position within society, universities have a critical role to play in achieving the SDGs. University of Toronto - Zhejiang University Joint Workshop on SDGs will facilitate and support research collaboration projects between both institutions with a clear intention to advance progress towards the SDGs. The workshop will be followed by a call for collaborative projects later in the fall.

Gaussian random fields on N-dimensional Euclidean spaces with isotropic increments were classified as isotropic case and non-isotropic case by Yaglom in the 1950s. Such models were used widely in statistical physics. In particular, they were introduced to model a single particle in a random potential by Engel, Mezard and Parisi in 1990s. A basic question is to count the number of critical points (or local minima, saddles) of the fields, which is commonly known as complexity. In 2004, Fyodorov computed the large N limit of expected number of critical points for isotropic Gaussian random fields. However, many natural models are not isotropic and only have isotropic increments, which creates new difficulty in understanding the complexity. In this talk, I will present some results on the large N behavior of complexity of non-isotropic Gaussian random fields with isotropic increments. Connection to random matrices and large deviations will be explained. This talk is based on joint work with Antonio Auffinger (Northwestern University).

In the 1970s, a successive pioneering work of G. Shimura revealed the relation of different critical values of $L$-function that are attached to modular forms of$\mathrm{GL}_2$. This type of result, conjectured by D. Blasius for general linear groups, is called period relation of a certain automorphic $L$-function, which is closely related to a celebrated conjecture of P. Deligne.In this talk, I will discuss my work joint with Dihua Jiang and Binyong Sun on the period relation for the twisted standard L-function $L(s, \Pi\otimes\chi)$, where $\Pi$ is an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_{2n}(\mathbb{A})$ which is regular algebraic and of symplectic type.  Along this talk, I will also discuss the key ingredient of this project - the existence of uniform cohomological test vector, which provides the most precise information on the archimedean local integrals.Contact: LI Fang, fangli@zju.edu.cn
