Condensed Learning Seminar

Étale Hyperdescent
2:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 314

Introduce the notion of hypersheaf and discuss its basic properties and equivalent characterizations. In particular, discuss the notions of homotopy and cohomological dimensions and their relation to hyperdescent. Sketch the proof of the fact for...

Joint IAS/PU Analysis Seminar

Generalized Cylinder Limits of Ricci Flow Singularities
Natasa Sesum
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We study multiply warped product geometries MN:=Bn×Fn1×···×FnA 

g = g_B + \sum_{a=1}^A v_a^2 g_{F^{n_a}} and show that for an open set of initial data within multiply warped product geometries the Ricci flow starting at any of those develops...

An Energy Model for Harmonic Graphs with Junctions
Ovidiu Savin
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We consider an energy model for N ordered elastic membranes subject to forcing and boundary conditions. The heights of the membranes are described by real functions u_1, u_2,...,u_N, which minimize an energy functional involving the Dirichlet...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Additive Combinatorics Without Groups
Huy Tuan Pham
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Subsets $A$ of an abelian group with a small doubling $|A+A|/|A|$ have been extensively studied, and results of Freiman, Ruzsa and Green give fundamental structural descriptions of such sets. These have important applications across combinatorics...
