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...

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...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Incidence Bounds via Extremal Graph Theory
Istvan Tomon
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

A cornerstone result in geometry is the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem, which gives a sharp bound on the maximum number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ lines in the real plane. A natural generalization of this is to consider point-hyperplane...
