Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Coboundary Expansion Inside Chevalley High-Dimensional Expanders
Ryan O'Donnell
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In theoretical computer science, an increasingly important role is being played by sparse high-dimensional expanders (HDXs), of which we know two main constructions: "building" HDXs [Ballantine'00, ...] and "coset complex" HDXs [Kaufman--Oppenheim...

IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

Categorical Symmetries of Spin Chains from Subalgebras
Corey Jones
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: In this talk we will describe categorical symmetries of spin chains from the viewpoint of subalgebras of the quasi-local algebra of observables in the infinite volume limit. In particular, we provide formal axioms for a subalgebra to give...

Joint IAS/PU Arithmetic Geometry

Strongly compatible systems associated to abelian varieties
3:35pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field E ⊂ ℂ. We prove that, after replacing E by a finite extension, the action of Gal(Ē/E) on the ℓ‑adic Tate modules of A gives rise to a strongly compatible system of ℓ‑adic representations valued in the...

Joint IAS/PU Groups and Dynamics Seminar

Aspects of the large scale geometry of $\operatorname{Out}(F_n)$
Lee Mosher
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

The theory of hierarchically hyperbolic groups, due to Behrstock, Hagen, and Sisto, was developed by abstracting work of Masur and Minsky on mapping class groups. Study of the large scale geometry of the outer automorphism group $\operatorname{Out}...
