The seminar is jointly organized by Ben Brubaker and Nat Thiem, both Szego Assistant Professors in the Math Department.
For more information contact us at brubaker@math.stanford.edu or thiem@math.stanford.edu respectively.
This seminar covers topics ranging from arithmetic applications of automorphic forms and automorphic representations to the combinatorics of representation theory and of Lie type.
Further information about upcoming seminars and people in the math department can be found at the Stanford Math Department Home Page.
