Recursive Relations for 2-Variable Weighted ShiftsEd WhiteIn this talk, we outline a method to determine all recursive relations for a 2-Variable weighted shift, up to total degree k, entirely from the Berger measure. We then show that this method can be used to explicitly construct the Gröbner basis for the ideal of recursive relations.To join this event virtually via ZOOM, go to https://uiowa.zoom.us/j/95316149275.

On the General Projective Theory of Matter and GravitationMichael ConnollyA torsional generalization of Thomas-Whitehead (TW) projective connections is proposed. As motivation, the novel projective symmetric teleparallel connection is derived. A projective gauge connection is then introduced and the nonlinear realization technique utilized. The fundamental projective vector of TW theory is extended to a projective generalized Higgs field (pGFH), and used to define a projective 2-frame. The...

Title: Almost unimodular groupsAbstract: Just like discrete groups, locally compact groups provide a rich source of von Neumann algebras through their left regular representations. However, by moving beyond the discrete setting one loses the canonical tracial state on these algebras and must instead work with an infinite weight called the Plancherel weight. This weight can even have non-trivial modular theory (i.e. be non-tracial), but this is fortunately controlled by the so-called modular...
