Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

High-dimensional Online Calibration: Harmonic Weights and Harmonic Analysis
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

We study the online calibration of multidimensional forecasts over an arbitrary convex set. For forecasting over the hypercube, we give the first algorithm that achieves ε-calibration in a number of rounds polynomial in the dimension, exponentially...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Informal Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This year we will hold a *very informal* get-together every Tuesday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, meet up around 12.20 pm to grab lunch in the dining...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Invariants of Legendrian Knots in Thickened Convex Surfaces
Nancy Eagles
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Recently, Zijian Rong and I defined a new differential graded algebra associated to a Legendrian knot $\Lambda$ in a thickened convex surface $\Sigma \times \mathbb{R}$. The algebra is defined combinatorially and in the same spirit as the Chekanov...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Hölder Maps Under Distributional Constraints
Armin Schikorra
2:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

There are many example of (Hölder)-continuous functions with a.e. vanishing derivative which are non-constant, e.g. the Devil's staircase. However any Hölder continuous function with a vanishing distributional derivative is constant. This...

Joint IAS/PU Groups and Dynamics Seminar

Quantum Ergodicity for Locally Symmetric Spaces in the Benjamini-Schramm Limit
Farrell Brumley
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

A cornerstone of quantum chaos is the Quantum Ergodicity theorem, which states roughly that on a closed Riemannian manifold with ergodic geodesic flow the L2 mass of most Laplacian eigenfunctions equidistributes in the high frequency limit. An...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Voyages Beyond the Standard Model
Raffaele D'Agnolo
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will review the experimental evidence that we have accumulated on physics beyond the Standard Model in the last two decades and draw conclusions on how to move forward. The data point to a scale of new physics far removed from what we...
