Special Year Seminar II

Tropical Ideals
Felipe Rincón
10:00am|Simonyi 101

Tropical ideals are combinatorial objects that abstract the behavior of the collections of subsets of lattice points that arise as the supports of all polynomials in an ideal. Their structure is governed by a sequence of ‘compatible’ matroids and...

Special Year Seminar II

Products of Chern Classes of Matroid Tautological Bundles (continued)
Alex Fink
11:00am|Simonyi 101

In 2008, looking to bound the face vectors of tropical linear spaces, Speyer introduced the g-invariant of a matroid, defined in terms of exterior powers of tautological bundles on Grassmannians. He proved its coefficients nonnegative for matroids...

100 years of Quantum Mechanics: A solid state physicist reports from the half-time show
Piers Coleman
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Celebrating a hundred years of quantum mechanics, the United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This is not only an occasion to step back and marvel at the progress, it also raises the...

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

Three 20 Minute Research Talks
Zhen Gao, Zihong Chen and Jonghyeon Ahn
9:15am|Remote Access

Zhen Gao (Universität Augsburg) :Morse-Bott Floer Homology and Rectangular Pegs

The rectangular peg problem, an extension of the square peg problem, is easy to outline but challenging to prove through elementary methods. In this talk, I discuss how...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

Complex Chern-Simons Theory and Schur Quantization
Davide Gaiotto
11:00am|Rubenstein Commons Meeting Room 5 & Zoom

Abstract: I will describe the relationship between the Schur indices of 4d N=2 SQFTs of class S and the quantization of Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group.

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Low-Depth Algebraic Circuit Lower Bounds Over Any Field
Michael A. Forbes
10:30am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

The recent breakthrough of Limaye, Srinivasan and Tavenas (LST) gave the first super-polynomial lower bounds against low-depth algebraic circuits, for any field of zero (or sufficiently large) characteristic. It was an open question to extend this...
