Princeton University Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Seminar Series

2030STEM: A Project to Accelerate a More Diverse STEM Workforce
Jackie Faherty
2:00pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS 407 seminar room (4th floor)

The 2030STEM project was created in 2020 as a response to the call to action which happened surrounding the death of George Floyd. With an award from the Alfred P Sloan Foundation as well as the Heising Simons Foundation, our team of co-founders...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Colloquium

Previewing Roman's Survey of Stellar Halos Using the FOGGIE Simulations
Anna Wright
3:30pm|Serin Hall Rm W330, Rutgers and Zoom

Over the next decade, the astronomical community will be deploying a number of instruments that will revolutionize our understanding of the low surface brightness universe. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, in particular, will combine extreme...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

Higher Congruences For Modular Forms and Zeta Elements
Eric Urban
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

In a recent joint work with S. Iyengar, C. Khare and J. Manning, we use their notion of congruence modules in higher codimension to give a new construction of the bottom class of the rank d=[F:\Q] Euler system attached to nearly ordinary Hilbert...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Aspects of Topological Symmetry, Holography, and Branes
Ibrahima Bah
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss holographic duals of topological operators.  At low energy sugra, they can be realized by Page charge associated to Gauss law constraints. In the UV string theory, topological operators can be characterized by...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Renormalization, Diffusion Models, and Optimal Transport
Semon Kirillovich Rezchikov
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will explain how Polchinski’s formulation of the renormalization group of a statistical field theory can formally be seen as a gradient flow equation for a relative entropy functional. I will then discuss how this idea can be used to design...

Condensed Learning Seminar

Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch, Part I
Vadim Vologodsky
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Explain the formulation of the Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem for analytic adic spaces: go through [And23, pp. 32-38] and define all relevant objects and maps. Before explaining the construction of the Chern class map, define the sheaf KU∧p on...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Lower Bounds for Set-Multilinear Branching Programs
Shubhangi Saraf
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, I will discuss lower bounds for a certain set-multilinear restriction of algebraic branching programs. The significance of the lower bound and the model is underscored by the recent work of Bhargav, Dwivedi, and Saxena (2023), which...
