     Title: Hyperbolic convex sets and quasiisometries
     Abstract: We will construct discrete groups of real projective 

     transformations which act cocompactly on some strictly convex 

     open subset of the real projective space but which are not isomorphic 

     to any group acting cocompactly on the hyperbolic space.

     Title: Derived categories and Lie algebras

     Abstract:  The talk is based on a joint work with F.Xu and G.Zhang. 

     It consists of : (1) the moduli spaces of derived categories; (2) constructible 

     functions and the convolution multiplication; (3) octahedral axiom and Jacobi 

     identity; (4) realization of infinite dimensional Lie algebras.

     Title: Lie Algebra and Symmetry
     Abstract: In this talk, I will first give a brief introduction to Lie algebra 

     as a tool of studying symmetry. Then I will focus on my work on new 
     mutli-variable hypergeometric functions arising from Calogero-Sutherland 

     model and work on using Campbell-Hausdorff formula to solve certain 

     evolution partial differential equations.

     Title: $L^p$ cohomology of symmetric spaces
     Abstract: The $L^2$ cohomology of symmetric spaces was computed

     by Borel in 1985. We attempt to shed some geometric light on the 

     somewhat mysterious answer by computing $L^p$ cohomology, 

     for $p$ different from 2.

     Abstract:   The division polynomials  characterize the torsion groups 

     of elliptic curves. In this talk, we introduce a new formula for all the 

     even-th division polynomials of nonsupersingular elliptic curves over finite 

     fields of characteristic 2 and determine their degrees of the even-th 

     division polynomials.
