Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

The Fundamentals of Analysis of Boolean Functions; An Old Timer Reminiscing About his Graduate Studies
Ehud Friedgut
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The recent flurry of AI-generated mathematical activity has brought an avalanche of new results. Among them are the resolution of some conjectures that I made more than a quarter of a century ago, as a graduate student. In this talk I’ll give the...

Institute for Advanced Study / Princeton University Joint Astrophysics Colloquium

The future of gravitational-wave detection with pulsar timing: a data analysis perspective
Rutger van Haasteren
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: Current pulsar timing array (PTA) projects are galactic-scale gravitational-wave (GW) detectors whose sensitivity is approaching the point at which a signal should become clearly detectable. Despite the strong evidence reported in the...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Informal Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This year we will hold a *very informal* get-together every Tuesday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, meet up around 12.20 pm to grab lunch in the dining...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

On the Arnold-Givental Conjecture
Egor Shelukhin
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

We present a proof of the Arnold-Givental conjecture on the number of intersection points between the fixed-point set of an anti-symplectic involution and its transverse Hamiltonian image. Our argument combines the methods of integral Floer theory...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

The Sigma-Inverse Mean Curvature Flow and the Generalized Penrose Conjecture
Conghan Dong
2:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The generalized Penrose conjecture for initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition asserts that the ADM mass is bounded below by a quantity involving the area of the outermost generalized apparent horizon. In this talk, I will discuss...

Joint IAS/PU Groups and Dynamics Seminar

Regularity of Measures Generated by Random Dynamics and Applications
Grigorii Monakov
4:00pm|Simonyi 101

A stationary measure in random dynamics is an analog of an invariant measure for a classical dynamical system. While there is no reason, in general, for an invariant measure of a diffeomorphism to have any regularity, it turns out that, under mild...
