An Introduction to Nilsequences
Abstract
Nilsequences are sequences coming from Lie groups which play the role of additive characters in higher order Fourier analysis. In this talk, I will define these and give some basic examples without assuming any prior knowledge. I'll use this to state an equidistribution result due to Green and Tao, and compare what happens in this setting to the familiar case of sequences in the torus.
We invite applications from talented postdoctoral researchers for a Hooke/Titchmarsh Research Fellowship in Complex Systems. This is a fixed-term position for 3 years at the University of Oxford. The successful candidate must have a PhD (or be close to completion) in mathematics or physics and a record of outstanding research in the mathematical theory of Complex Systems, including Random Matrix Theory and its Applications, and Statistical Mechanics, interpreted broadly.
