Members' Colloquium

Triangulated Surfaces in Moduli Space
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Triangulated surfaces are Riemann surfaces formed by gluing together equilateral triangles. They are also the Riemann surfaces defined over the algebraic numbers. Brooks, Makover, Mirzakhani and many others proved results about the geometric...

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...
