SUMMARY:Exceptional theta functions
LOCATION:Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Classical theta functions are certain holomorphic functions (of o
 ne or several complex variables) that possess an infinite group of discrete
  symmetries.  They are a key building block of modern number theory: they c
 an be used to prove that the Riemann zeta function satisfies a functional e
 quation (more generally, are very useful in understanding certain L-functio
 ns) and are the first concrete examples of modular forms (more generally, a
 re useful for proving instances of Langlands functoriality).  One way to th
 ink about theta functions is that they are associated to the following pair
  of data: a lattice L in a positive definite quadratic space V, and a vecto
 r in a finite dimensional representation of SO(V).  I will discuss "excepti
 onal" theta functions, which are associated with similar data, where the gr
 oup SO(V) gets replaced by certain compact exceptional groups.  I will also
  discuss some applications.\n
