Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Many Nodal Domains in Random Regular Graphs
11:15am|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

A nodal domain of a Laplacian eigenvector of a graph is a maximal connected component where it does not change sign.  Sparse random regular graphs have been proposed as discrete toy models of "quantum chaos", and it has accordingly been conjectured...

Workshop on Recent developments in incompressible fluid dynamics

From the Monge transportation problem to Einstein's gravitation through Euler's Hydrodynamics
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: The quadratic Monge optimal transportation problem can be revisited in Euler's language of Hydrodynamics as was explained by Jean-David Benamou and the speaker about 20 years ago. It turns out that Einstein's theory of gravitation, at...

Some Progress on Categorical Local Langlands
Linus Hamann
4:30pm|Remote Access and Fine 214

Recently, Fargues and Scholze attached a semi-simple L-parameter to any smooth irreducible representation of a p-adic reductive group, realizing the local Langlands correspondence as a geometric Langlands correspondence over the Fargues-Fontaine...

Statistical properties of the character table of the symmetric group
6:00pm|Birch Garden, Simons Hall

In 2017, Miller conjectured, based on computational evidence, that for any fixed prime $p$ the density of entries in the character table of $S_n$ that are divisible by $p$ goes to $1$ as $n$ goes to infinity.  K. Soundararajan and I proved this...
