Visiting Research Collaboration — Prof. Jayce Robert Getz from Duke University

Professor Jayce Robert Getz of the Duke University Mathematics Department visited POSTECH as a Global Research Scholar for approximately one month, conducting collaborative research with faculty and students in the department.

Professor Getz specializes in Number Theory, with a particular focus on Automorphic Representation Theory. During his visit, he led the Duke-POSTECH Research Team, jointly supported by POSTECH and the NSF Research Training Grant held by the number theory group at Duke University.

The team aims to construct certain exotic Fourier transforms intimately related to the analytic properties of triple product L-functions. Their ultimate goal is to prove the analytic properties of these L-functions and thereby construct automorphic tensor products — work with broad implications across mathematics, including potential applications to the Ramanujan-Selberg conjecture.

At POSTECH, graduate students Jungtaek Hong and Tom Huh actively collaborated with Professor Getz, alongside former student Taeyeoup Kang, now a postdoctoral researcher.

This marked Professor Getz's fourth visit to POSTECH. Reflecting on his experience, he shared: "I have started to think of it as a second mathematical home. The department is welcoming and has excellent faculty, facilities, and support staff." We look forward to the research outcomes this team will produce and to the continued deepening of the academic partnership between POSTECH and Duke University.
