IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Structures in the Non-Planar Sector of QCD
Giulio Gambuti
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Scattering amplitudes can be used to probe the all-orders structure of gauge theories. Particularly rich is the non-planar sector, where physical phenomena such as quadrupole radiation and multi-reggeon interactions appear. In this talk I...

Visions in Arithmetic and Beyond: Celebrating Peter Sarnak's Work and Impact

Impacts of Ramanujan Graphs
Daniel Spielman
10:00am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

I will survey some applications of Ramanujan Graphs in theoretical computer science, as well as some of the work they have inspired. 

Along the way, I'll explain how they impacted the thinking and assumptions of my generation.

Integer Distance Sets
Sarah Peluse
2:30pm|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

I’ll speak about new joint work with Rachel Greenfeld and Marina Iliopoulou in which we address some classical questions concerning the size and structure of integer distance sets. A subset of the Euclidean plane is said to be an integer distance...

Spectral Statistics of Random Regular Graphs
Horng-Tzer Yau
4:30pm|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

In this lecture, we will review recent works regarding  spectral  statistics of the normalized adjacency matrices of random  $d$-regular graphs on $N$ vertices.

Denote their eigenvalues by $\lambda_1=d/\sqrt{d-1}\geq \la_2\geq\la_3\cdots\geq \la_N$...
