Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Algorithmizing the Multiplicity Schwartz-Zippel Lemma
Prahladh Harsha
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

The degree mantra states that any non-zero univariate polynomial of degree at most d has at most d roots (counted with multiplicity). A generalization of this to the multivariate setting, proved by Dvir-Kopparty-Saraf-Sudan asserts that over any...

Arithmetic Groups

Grothendieck Pairs and Profinite Rigidity
Martin Bridson
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

If a monomorphism of abstract groups $H\hookrightarrow G$ induces an isomorphism of profinite completions, then $(G, H)$ is called a Grothendieck pair, recalling the fact that Grothendieck asked about the existence of such pairs with $G$ and $H$...

Bounds for subsets of $\mathbb{F}_p^n \times \mathbb{F}_p^n$ without L-shaped configurations
Sarah Peluse
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss the difficult problem of proving reasonable bounds in the multidimensional generalization of Szemerédi's theorem.  Most of the first talk will be spent going over Shkredov's proof of good bounds for sets lacking corners, in...
