Title: The generalized doublingmethod and its applications
Abstract: The doubling method,first introduced by Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis in the 80s, has had numerousapplications, e.g. to the theta correspondence and to arithmetic problems.In a series of recent works this method was generalized in severalaspects, with an application to functoriality from classical groups to GL(N).The most recent result is a multiplicityone theorem (joint work with Gourevitch and Aizenbud).
I will brieflysurvey the method and talk about some of its applications.

Abstract:
A restricted permutation of a locally finite directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is a vertex permutation $\pi: V\to V$ for which $(v,\pi(v))\in E$, for any vertex $v\in V$. The set of such permutations, denoted by $\Omega(G)$, with a group action induced from a subset of graph isomorphisms form a topological dynamical system. In the particular case presented by Schmidt and Strasser (2016), where $V=\mathbb{Z}^d$ and $(n,m)\in E$ iff $(n-m)\in A$ ($A\subseteq \mathbb{Z^d}$ is fixed), $\Omega(G)$ is a subshift of finite type.

We consider a system of N points evolving according to the gradient flow of their Coulomb or Riesz interaction, or a similar conservative flow. By Riesz interaction, we mean inverse power s of the distance with s between d-2 and d where d denotes the dimension. We show a convergence result as N tends to infinity to the expected limiting evolution equation. This was previously an open question in general dimension, rendered difficult by the singular nature of the interaction. We will also discuss briefly similar results in the context of models of superfluidity and superconductivity.

Abstract: A subset of the integers P is called predictive if for all zero-entropy processes X_i; i in Z, X_0 can be determined by X_i; i in P. The classical formula for entropy shows that the set of natural numbers forms a predictive set. In joint work with Benjamin Weiss, we will explore some necessary and some sufficient conditions for a set to be predictive. These sets are related to Riesz sets (as defined by Y. Meyer) which arise in the study of singular measures. This and several questions will be discussed during the talk.

Abstract: We present several new results concerning mixing properties of
hyperbolic systems preserving an infinite measure making a particular
emphasis on mixing for extended systems. This talk is based on a joint
work with Peter Nandori.

Continuation

Christian d'Elbée will speak about generic generic abelian varieties.

Generic generic abelian varieties.

Abstract: 
I will present work in progress in a new NSOP1 nonsimple theory: the expansion of an abelian variety by a generic subgroup, under some conditions on the endomorphism ring.
