Special Year Seminar I

The Mysterious Kronecker Coefficients
11:00am|Rubenstein Commons | Meeting Room 5

The Kronecker coefficients of the Symmetric group $S_n$ are the multiplicities of an irreducible $S_n$ representation in the tensor product of two other irreducibles. They were introduced in 1938 by Murnaghan and generalize the beloved Littlewood...

Amplitudes and Combinatorics Synergy Event

10:00am|Rubenstein Commons | Meeting Room 5

Summary: This event aims to foster collaboration between combinatorialists and amplitudologists in two ways: first by bridging language and concept barriers, and second by highlighting open problems of mutual interest.

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Subgroup Tests and the Aldous--Lyons Conjecture
Michael Chapman
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A common theme in mathematics is that limits of finite objects are well behaved. This allows one to prove many theorems about finitely approximable objects, while leaving the general case open --- examples for this are Gottschalk's conjecture...
