Bounds for subsets of $\mathbb{F}_p^n \times \mathbb{F}_p^n$ without L-shaped configurations

Sarah Peluse

10:30am|Simonyi Hall 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 preparation...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Legendrian ECH

Julian Chaidez

4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will explain a construction of a Legendrian version of embedded contact homology (ECH) for a sutured contact manifold Y along with a collection of Legendrians L contained in the boundary. The chain complex is generated by sets of Reeb orbits and...

Members' Colloquium

A mathematical approach to some problems in neurobiology

Lai-Sang Young

2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss some questions of interest in neuroscience, seen through the lens of mathematics. No prior knowledge of neuroscience is needed for this talk. Two of the most basic visual capabilities of primates are orientation selectivity, i.e., the...

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...
