Number Theory Seminar: Brandon Hanson Title: Sumsets in the roots of unity Abstract: How large can the size of sets A and B be if their sum set is contained in the set of quadratic residues modulo p? We will discuss progress on this old problem and what it implies for a conjecture of Sarkozy, that the quadratic residues modulo any prime p can only be written as a sum set A+B if one of the two sets is a singleton.

Graduate Student Seminar: Akram Alisahi Title: An introduction to Heegaard Floer homology Abstract: Heegaard Floer homology is a package of powerful invariants for 3-manifolds and knots and links inside them. In this talk I will sketch the definition of the invariant for closed, oriented 3-manifolds, and talk about a couple of interesting conjectures in the field.
