Probability Seminar

Algorithmic Thresholds for Mean-Field Spin Glasses
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will explain recent progress on computing approximate ground states of mean-field spin glass Hamiltonians, which are certain random functions in high dimension. While the asymptotic ground state energy OPT is given by the famous Parisi formula...

Joint IAS/PU Number Theory Seminar

Arithmetic holonomy bounds and Apery limits
5:10pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

A Diophantine upper bound on the dimensions of certain spaces of holonomic functions was the main ingredient in our proof with Calegari and Tang of the 'unbounded denominators conjecture' (presented by Tang in last year's number theory seminar) from...
