Daniel Rudolf (Ruhr-Universität Bochum): Viterbo‘s conjecture for Lagrangian products in $\mathbb{R}^4$

We show that Viterbo‘s conjecture (for the EHZ-capacity) for convex Lagrangian products in $\mathbb{R}^4$ holds for all Lagrangian products (any...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Branching laws: homological aspects
Dipendra Prasad
4:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

This lecture will partly survey branching laws for real and p-adic groups which often is related to period integrals of automorphic representations, discuss some of the more recent developments, focusing attention on homological aspects and the...

Association schemes and codes II: Completeness of the hierarchy of high-order Hamming schemes
Leonardo Coregliano
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

One of the central problems of coding theory is to determine the trade-off between the amount of information a code can carry (captured by its rate) and its robustness to resist message corruption (captured by its distance). One of the main methods...

Thresholds
Jinyoung Park
4:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Thresholds for increasing properties of random structures are a central concern in probabilistic combinatorics and related areas.  In 2006, Kahn and Kalai conjectured that for any nontrivial increasing property on a finite set, its threshold is...

Bounds for subsets of $\mathbb{F}_p^n \times \mathbb{F}_p^n$ without L-shaped configurations
Sarah Peluse
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: I will discuss the difficult problem of proving reasonable bounds in the multidimensional generalization of Szemer\’edi’s theorem and describe a proof of such bounds for sets lacking nontrivial configurations of the form $(x,y), (x,y+z),...
