Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

A High Dimensional Goldreich-Levin Theorem
Silas Richelson
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this work we prove a high dimensional analogue of the beloved Goldreich-Levin  theorem (STOC 1989), which is the first local list-decoding algorithm.  We consider the following algorithmic problem: given oracle access to a function $f: Z_q^m...

Frobenius-Type Results on Submanifolds and Currents
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The question of producing a foliation of the n-dimensional Euclidean space with k-dimensional submanifolds which are tangent to a prescribed k-dimensional simple vectorfield is part of the celebrated Frobenius theorem: a decomposition in smooth...

What are the Malle-Bhargava Conjectures?
Alina Bucur
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

We will explore some counting problems for number fields in which the conjectures formulated first by Malle and refined by Bhargava play a central role. In the process we will see some standard techniques in analytic number theory.

Tate Classes and Endoscopy for GSp4
Naomi Sweeting
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

Weissauer proved using the theory of endoscopy that the Galois representations associated to classical modular forms of weight two appear in the middle cohomology of both a modular curve and a Siegel modular threefold. Correspondingly, there are...

Special Year Seminar

$p$-adic Hodge Theory and Simpson’s Correspondence
2:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

This talk will introduce background, achievements and challenges in the quest to find non-Archimedean versions of the celebrated Corlette-Simpson correspondence, which on Kähler manifolds relates representations of the fundamental group to certain...
