Arnold conjecture over Z
4:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Arnold's famous conjecture on the numbers of fixed points of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic manifolds has motivated numerous important developments in geometry and topology, most notably the invention of Floer homology. In this talk I...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Relative Rank and Regularity
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The notion of Schmidt rank/strength for a collection of m polynomials plays an important role in additive combinatorics, number theory and commutative algebra; high rank collections of polynomials are “psuedorandom”.  An arbitrary collection of...
