Bi-Co Math Colloquium with Valentin Blomer
Valentin Blomer of the University of Bonn, Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, will give a talk titled "Quantum Chaos, Quadratic Forms, and Fibonacci Numbers."
Abstract: In this talk we show how elementary and advanced number theory can be used to shed light on a deep question in spectral geometry: what is the eigenvalue distribution of a compact Riemannian manifold? In the simplest case of a flat torus, this has rather surprising arithmetic features and offers a fascinating interplay between number theory and analysis.
This is a joint talk with the Philadelphia Number Theory Seminar.
