Geometry of Matroid Workshop

Tropical Vector Bundles and Matroids
Kiumars Kaveh
10:00am|Simonyi 101

Abstract: A toric vector bundle is a torus equivariant vector bundle on a toric variety.

We begin by recalling the classification of toric vector bundles due to Klyachko. The Klyachko data of a toric vector bundle can be interpreted as a "piecewise...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

When and How are (promise) Constraint Satisfaction Problems Efficiently Solvable?
Venkatesan Guruswami
10:30am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Computational problems exhibit a diverse range of behaviors in terms of how quickly and effectively they can be solved.  What underlying mathematical structure (or lack thereof) in a computational problem leads to an efficient algorithm for solving...

Geometry of Matroid Workshop

From Matroids to Moduli Spaces
12:00pm|Simonyi 101

Abstract: After a gentle introduction to matroids, I will present parts of a new OSCAR software module for matroids through several examples. I will focus on computing the moduli space of a matroid which is the space of all arrangements of...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Fall Seminar Series

Gravitational wave modeling with numerical relativity in light of next-generation detectors
Keefe Mitman
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: With the commencement of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration’s fourth observing run, the field of gravitational wave (GW) physics is uniquely poised to collect even more precise data from compact binary mergers. Consequently, we will soon...

Geometry of Matroid Workshop

The Foundation of a Generalized Parallel Connection
Zach Walsh
2:30pm|Simonyi 101

Abstract: The foundation of a matroid is an algebraic invariant that controls representations over any partial field, hyperfield, or more generally, any pasture. We show that, under certain conditions, the foundation of a generalized parallel...

Joint IAS/PU Analysis Seminar

Extremal Black Hole Formation as a Critical Phenomenon
Ryan Unger
3:00pm|314 Fine Hall

Extremal black holes are special solutions of Einstein’s equations which have absolute zero temperature in the thermodynamic analogy of black hole mechanics. In this talk, I will present a proof that extremal black holes arise on the critical...

Joint IAS/PU Arithmetic Geometry

Excursion functions for p-adic reductive groups
3:35pm|*Princeton University, Fine Hall 224*

Local Langlands correspondence (LLC) is a conjectural finite-to-one map from representations of a p-adic reductive group G to the set of L-parameters for G. Recently there have been two major advances in this area: Kaletha's characterization of the...
