Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Local List Decoding from HDX II
Yotam Dikstein
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this talk we will construct (approximate) locally list decodable codes from high dimensional expanders (HDXs).

Last week we saw that locally list decoding is a powerful tool from coding theory. We also got a subspace-based construction of...

Institute for Advanced Study / Princeton University Joint Astrophysics Colloquium

Magnetism and morphology in the interstellar medium
Susan Clark
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

The interstellar medium (ISM) is a turbulent, multi-phase, magnetic environment. It is home to vastly different gas phases, from cold, dense clouds to hot, tenuous plasma. Magnetic fields thread this interstellar environment, helping to sculpt...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Seminar

The Beguiling Mystery of the Little Red Dots
Jenny Greene
11:00am|Serin Hall Rm 330W, Rutgers and Zoom

One of the most surprising results from JWST has been the discovery of a large population of compact red sources at z>4, with very red rest-frame optical colors, blue UV slopes, and broad Balmer lines. The compact sizes and luminous broad lines...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Uniqueness and Convexity in the Calculus of Variations
Bernd Kirchheim
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In the Calculus of Variations, convexity plays a seemingly irreplaceable role.
For vectorial problems, however, for good reasons a whole zoo of its generalizations was introduced. It ranges  from notions based on very classical
observation over...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

The Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lensing Puzzle in Clusters
Isaque Dutra
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has emerged as a powerful tool to probe the standard CDM paradigm of structure formation in the Universe. Despite the remarkable explanatory power of CDM on large scales, tensions with observations...
