Events and Activities

Instead of capturing images at a fixed rate, like conventional frame cameras do, event cameras measure their pixels’ luminance changes and asynchronously output a stream of “address-events” that encode a luminance change location, time, and sign...

The talk will be based on two groups, the automorphic Galois group and the motivic Galois group. These are given by conjectural formulas that contain much data, but which are also quite explicit. The foundations for their construction are Langlands'...

Abstract: How exotic ​can a quantum many-body system be at finite energy density? Error-correcting codes provide a natural framework for exploring this question. In this talk, I will survey two lines of research. First, codes give rise to...

The first of the collected works of Robert Langlands were posted at the University of British Columbia, where he was once enrolled as an undergraduate. The site moved to the Institute for Advanced Study around 2002, and has been maintained there...

Request a reservation.
Gourmet dinner is limited to Institute Members, Faculty, Staff, Friends of the Institute, and their guests.

Let X be a (nice) topological space, and suppose that we wish to know if X is homotopy equivalent to a simplicial complex of dimension $\leq n$. An obvious necessary condition is that the cohomology of X (with arbitrary coefficients) must be...

Many societal decisions on which we want collective input — from allocating a public budget to deciding how an automated decision rule should behave — have enormous combinatorial spaces of possible outcomes. The standard approach to eliciting public...
