Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

An Improved Line-Point Low-Degree Test
Prahladh Harsha
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, I'll show that the most natural low-degree test for polynomials over finite fields is ``robust'' in the high-error regime for linear-sized fields. This settles a long-standing open question in the area of low-degree testing, yielding...

Princeton University Extrasolar Planet Discussion Group

Bridging Planetary and Exoplanetary Science
Garrett Levine
12:00pm|Zoom and Peyton Dome Rm, Princeton University

Both solar system studies and exoplanet science focus on the same class of objects: planetary bodies. Thus, rich synergies between these disciplines can advance our knowledge of fundamental planetary processes. In this talk, I will present new...

Institute for Advanced Study/Princeton University Early Universe/Cosmology Lunch Discussion

Simulation-based modelling of Intrinsic Alignments
Francisco Maion
12:30pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central or Zoom

Intrinsic-Alignments are one of the main systematic effects hindering the robust interpretation of weak-lensing measurements. In this talk I will describe several works by which my collaborators and I advance the modelling and understanding of IA in...

Members' Colloquium

Lorentzian Polynomials, Matroids over Hyperfields, and Related Topics
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Lorentzian polynomials serve as a bridge between continuous and discrete convex analysis, with tropical geometry providing the critical link. The tropical connection is used to produce Lorentzian polynomials from discrete convex functions, leading...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Sea Storm as a Problem in Field Theory
Gregory Falkovich
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: I shall describe the recent theoretical advances in the description of turbulence in different media.

An important point is how different the meaning of renormalization in turbulence is from what we used to know in the field theory.

For...

Joint IAS/PU Arithmetic Geometry

Selmer Ranks for Some Four-Dimensional Symplectic Galois Representations, in the Spirit of Bipartite Euler Systems
Naomi Sweeting
3:40pm|322 Fine Hall

I will describe a new bipartite Euler system-type construction system for GSp_4 and its inner forms, based on the special cycles appearing in the Kudla program (for instance, Shimura curves on Siegel threefolds). This leads to new results towards...
