Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Asymptotic Spectrum and Approximation Approaches to Direct-sum Problems
Jeroen Zuiddam
11:00am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

What is the cost of a task if we have to perform it many times? Can we achieve economies of scale? Such "direct-sum problems" play a central role in many areas of mathematics, physics and computer science. Protagonistic problems of this kind are...

It is possible to form "theta series" in other geometric contexts, e.g. for counting problems involving abelian varieties. It is expected that these theta series again have additional automorphic symmetry.


I will explain some “near-central”...
