Seminars for the week of February 23, 2009

Colloquium

Thursday, 3:20, in VinH 16

Professor Friedrich G\"otze
of University of Bielefeld/Ordway Visitor
will speak on
"The distribution of quadratic forms in number theory and probability"

We discuss the connections between asymptotic approximations of quadratic forms with generalized $\chi^2$-limits with classical lattice point counting problems of Hardy and Landau. We describe recent optimal approximation bounds, which are valid starting at dimension 5 in the multivariate CLT obtained with A. Zaitsev. This is related to joint work with G. Margulis on the local equidistribution of values of irrational indefinite quadratic forms on lattices.
