Abstract. This is a joint work with Linhui Shen.
A decorated surface is an oriented surface with punctures and a finite collection of special points on the boundary, considered modulo isotopy.
Let G be a split adjoint group. We introduce a moduli space Loc(G,S) of G-local systems on a decorated surface S, which reduces to the character variety when S has no boundary, and quantize it.

# NT & AG Lunch: Ehud DeShalit "An overview of class field theory"

1:00pm to 2:00pm

## Location:

Faculty lounge, Math building
Class field theory classifies abelian extensions of local and global fields
in terms of groups constructed from the base. We shall survey the main results of class
field theory for number fields and function fields alike. The goal of these introductory lectures
is to prepare the ground for the study of explicit class field theory in the function field case,
via Drinfeld modules.
I will talk for the first 2 or 3 times.

There is a general slogan according to which the limit behaviour of a one-parameter family of complex algebraic varieties when the parameter t tends to zero should be (partially) encoded in the associated t-adic analytic space in the sense of Berkovich; this slogan has given rise to deep and fascinating conjecturs by Konsevich and Soibelman, as well as positive results by various authors (Berkovich, Nicaise, Boucksom, Jonsson...).

2:00pm to 3:30pm

## Location:

Abstract: We combine a technique of Steel with one due to Jensen and Steel to
obtain a core model below singular cardinals kappa which are
sufficiently closed under the beth function, assuming that there is no
premouse of height kappa with unboundedly many Woodin cardinals.
The motivation for isolating such core model is computing a lower bound for the strength of
the theory: T = ''ZFC + there is a singular cardinal kappa such that the set of ordinals below kappa where GCH holds is stationary and co-stationary''.

# T&G: John Pardon (Princeton), Structural results in wrapped Floer theory

1:00pm to 2:30pm

## Location:

Room 110, Manchester Building, Jerusalem, Israel
I will discuss results relating different partially wrapped Fukaya categories. These include a K\"unneth formula, a `stop removal' result relating partially wrapped Fukaya categories relative to different stops, and a gluing formula for wrapped Fukaya categories. The techniques also lead to generation results for Weinstein manifolds and for Lefschetz fibrations. The methods are mainly geometric, and the key underlying Floer theoretic fact is an exact triangle in the Fukaya category associated to Lagrangian surgery along a short Reeb chord at infinity.

# Combinatoric: Karthik C. Srikanta (Weizmann Institute) "On Closest Pair Problem and Contact Dimension of a Graph"

11:00am to 1:00pm

## Location:

CS B-500, Safra campus
Speaker: Karthik C. Srikanta (Weizmann Institute)
Title: On Closest Pair Problem and Contact Dimension of a Graph
Abstract: Given a set of points in a metric space, the Closest Pair problem asks to find a pair of distinct points in the set with the smallest distance. In this talk, we address the fine-grained complexity of this problem which has been of recent interest. At the heart of all our proofs is the construction of a family of dense bipartite graphs with special embedding properties and are inspired by the construction of locally dense codes.

# Combinatorics: Kim Minki (Technion) "The fractional Helly properties for families of non-empty sets"

11:00am to 1:00pm

## Location:

CS B-500, Safra campus
Speaker: Kim Minki, Technion
Title: The fractional Helly properties for families of non-empty sets
Abstract:
Let $F$ be a (possibly infinite) family of non-empty sets.
The Helly number of $F$ is defined as the greatest integer $m = h(F)$ for which there exists a finite subfamily $F'$ of cardinality $m$ such that every proper subfamily of $F'$ is intersecing and $F'$ itself is not intersecting.
For example, Helly's theorem asserts that the family of all convex sets in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space has Helly number $d+1$.
