Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Efficiency, Resilience, and Artificial Intelligence
Moshe Y. Vardi
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In both computer science and economics, efficiency is a cherished property. The field of algorithms is almost solely focused on their efficiency. The goal of AI research is to increase efficiency by reducing human labor.  In economics, the main...

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

Mapping Cosmic Baryons Beyond Galaxies: Insights from Density Reconstructions
Chenze Dong
12:30pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central or Zoom

The galaxies are biased tracers of large-scale structure, which usually form around the peaks of the density field. To probe the baryon in less dense regions, we deploy density mapping techniques combining different tracers. In this talk, I will...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Spring Seminar Series

Why Null Infinity is not Smooth, and how to Measure It
Leonhard Kehrberger
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Be it numerical, formal, or rigorous, the typical setup for the evolution of spacetimes describing, for instance, the merger of two black holes is to make an ad hoc assumption on the initial data to have compactly supported gravitational...

Members' Colloquium

The Mathematical Legacy of Hel Braun
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Hel Braun (IAS member 1947-1948) was a mathematician who introduced approaches that continue to impact research today.  Braun's research contributions lie in three areas: classical number theory problems about integers, modular and automorphic forms...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Local Operator Algebras of Charged States in Gauge Theory and Gravity
Massimo Porrati
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Powerful techniques have been developed in quantum field theory that employ algebras of local operators, yet local operators cannot create physical charged states in gauge theory or physical nonzero-energy states in perturbative quantum...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Sylvester, Gallai and Friends: Discrete Geometry Meets Computational Complexity
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

For every finite set of points in the plane, if every line going through any two of them contains a third, then they all lie on a single line. This ``local-to-global" theorem (which you can play with proving)  has many generalizations, to higher...
