Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

From Kepler to the Habitable Worlds Observatory: The Emerging Picture of Planet Populations
Jessie Christiansen
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

In this talk I will review the current state of and future prospects for exoplanet demographics. I will walk through the latest understanding of the frequency of Earth-like planets from Kepler, and their implications for NASA’s next flagship mission...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

An Improved Line-Point Low-Degree Test
Prahladh Harsha
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, I'll show that the most natural low-degree test for polynomials over finite fields is ``robust'' in the high-error regime for linear-sized fields. This settles a long-standing open question in the area of low-degree testing, yielding...

Members' Colloquium

Lorentzian Polynomials, Matroids over Hyperfields, and Related Topics
June Huh
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Lorentzian polynomials serve as a bridge between continuous and discrete convex analysis, with tropical geometry providing the critical link. The tropical connection is used to produce Lorentzian polynomials from discrete convex functions, leading...
