Jones, Part 1 of 2 ) 1—14, 2012 The Work of Tom Farrell and Lowell Jones in Topology and Geometry James F. Davis∗ Tom Farrell and Lowell Jones caused a paradigm shift in high-dimensional topology, away from the view that high-dimensional topology was, at its core, an algebraic subject, to the current view that geometry, dynamics, and analysis, as well as algebra, are key for classifying manifolds whose fundamental group is infinite. Their collaboration produced about fifty papers over a twenty-five year period. In this tribute for the special issue of Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly in their honor, I will survey some of the impact of their joint work and mention briefly their individual contributions – they have written about one hundred non-joint papers. 1 Setting the stage arXiv:1006.1489v2 [math.GT] 8 Aug 2010 In order to indicate the Farrell–Jones shift, it is necessary to describe the situation before the onset of their collaboration. This is intimidating – during the period of twenty-five years starting in the early fifties, manifold theory was perhaps the most active and dynamic area of mathematics. Any narrative will have omissions and be non-linear. Manifold theory deals with the classification of ∗I thank Shmuel Weinberger and Tom Farrell for their helpful comments on a draft of this article. I also profited from reading the survey articles [14] and [4]. 2 James F. Davis manifolds. There is an existence question – when is there a closed manifold within a particular homotopy type, and a uniqueness question, what is the classification of manifolds within a homotopy type? The fifties were the foundational decade of manifold theory.

In this paper Serre outlined a conjecture detailing a precise relationship between certain mod p Galois representations and specific mod p modular forms. This conjecture and its variants have become known as Serre’s conjecture, or sometimes Serre’s modularity conjecture in order to distinguish it from the many other conjectures Serre has made.

  • Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach the Arithmetic of Fields
    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 05/2009 The Arithmetic of Fields Organised by Moshe Jarden (Tel Aviv) Florian Pop (Philadelphia) Leila Schneps (Paris) February 1st – February 7th, 2009 Abstract. The workshop “The Arithmetic of Fields” focused on a series of problems concerning the interplay between number theory, arithmetic and al- gebraic geometry, Galois theory, and model theory, such as: the Galois theory of function fields / covers of varieties, rational points on varieties, Galois co- homology, local-global principles, lifting/specializing covers of curves, model theory of finitely generated fields, etc. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 12E30. Introduction by the Organisers The sixth conference on “The Arithmetic of Fields” was organized by Moshe Jar- den (Tel Aviv), Florian Pop (Philadelphia), and Leila Schneps (Paris), and was held in the week February 1–7, 2009. The participants came from 14 countries: Germany (14), USA (11), France (7), Israel (7), Canada (2), England (2), Austria (1), Brazil (1), Hungary (1), Italy (1), Japan (1), South Africa (1), Switzerland (1), and The Netherlands (1). All together, 51 people attended the conference; among the participants there were thirteen young researchers, and eight women. Most of the talks concentrated on the main theme of Field Arithmetic, namely Galois theory and its interplay with the arithmetic of the fields. Several talks had an arithmetical geometry flavour. All together, the organizers find the blend of young and experienced researchers and the variety of subjects covered very satisfactory.

  • Jacques Tits
    Jacques Tits Jacques Tits was born in Uccle, in the southern outskirts of Brussels, Belgium, on August 12, 1930. He retired from his professorship at the Collège de France in Paris in 2000 and has since then been Professor Emeritus. His father a mathematician, Jacques’s mathematical talent showed early. At the age of three he was able to do all the operations of arithmetic. He skipped several years at school. His father died when Jacques was only 13 years old. Since the family had very little to live on, Jacques started tutoring students four years older to contribute to the household expenses. He passed the entrance exam at the Free University of Brussels at the age of 14, and received his doctorate in 1950 at 20 years of age. Tits was promoted to professor at the Free University of Brussels in 1962 and remained in this position for two years before accepting a professorship at the University of Bonn in 1964. In 1973 he moved to Paris, taking up a position as Chair of Group Theory in the Collège de France. Shortly after, in 1974, he became a naturalised French subject. Tits held this chair until he retired in 2000. Jacques Tits has been a member of the French Académie des Sciences since 1974. In 1992 he was elected a Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In addition he holds memberships of science academies in Holland and Belgium. He has been awarded honorary doctorates from the Universities of Utrecht, Ghent, Bonn and Leuven.

  • Dirichlet Character Difference Graphs 1
    DIRICHLET CHARACTER DIFFERENCE GRAPHS M. BUDDEN, N. CALKINS, W. N. HACK, J. LAMBERT and K. THOMPSON Abstract. We define Dirichlet character difference graphs and describe their basic properties, includ- ing the enumeration of triangles. In the case where the modulus is an odd prime, we exploit the spectral properties of such graphs in order to provide meaningful upper bounds for their diameter. 1. Introduction Upon one's first encounter with abstract algebra, a theorem which resonates throughout the theory is Cayley's theorem, which states that every finite group is isomorphic to a subgroup of some symmetric group. The significance of such a result comes from giving all finite groups a common ground by allowing one to focus on groups of permutations. It comes as no surprise that algebraic graph theorists chose the name Cayley graphs to describe graphs which depict groups. More formally, if G is a group and S is a subset of G closed under taking inverses and not containing the identity, then the Cayley graph, Cay(G; S), is defined to be the graph with vertex set G and an edge occurring between the vertices g and h if hg−1 2 S [9]. Some of the first examples of JJ J I II Cayley graphs that are usually encountered include the class of circulant graphs. A circulant graph, denoted by Circ(m; S), uses Z=mZ as the group for a Cayley graph and the generating set S is Go back m chosen amongst the integers in the set f1; 2; · · · b 2 cg [2].
