Joint IAS/Princeton/Montreal/Paris/Tel-Aviv Symplectic Geometry Zoominar

Invariant Sets and Hyperbolic Periodic Orbits
Viktor Ginzburg
9:15am|Remote Access

The presence of hyperbolic periodic orbits or invariant sets often has an affect on the global behavior of a dynamical system. In this talk we discuss two theorems along the lines of this phenomenon, extending some properties of Hamiltonian...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Supersymmetric Approach to the Analysis of Random Band Matrices
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We discuss an application of the SUSY approach to the analysis of spectral characteristics of hermitian and non hermitian random band matrices. In 1D case the obtained integral representations for correlation functions of characteristic polynomials...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Quantum Mechanics, Semidefinite Programming, and Graph Invariants
Matthew Hastings
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The central problem of physics and quantum chemistry is to find the ground state energy of some physical system governed by quantum mechanics.  In mathematical terms, this means finding the lowest eigenvalue of some linear operator on a vector space...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...
