Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Recent progress in query complexity I & II
Pei Wu
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The query model is one of the most basic computational models.  In contrast to the Turing machine model, fundamental questions regarding the power of randomness and quantum computing are relatively well-understood.  For example, it is well-known...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

On stabilized symplectic embeddings and higher symplectic capacities
Kyler Siegel
4:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101
This is a progress report on the speaker's program to study higher dimensional symplectic embeddings by constructing and computing new symplectic capacities. Among other things, we will explain (1) a proof (in preparation) of D. McDuff's stabilized...

Hermann Weyl Lectures

Type I, Type II and front singularities
Pierre Raphaël
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access - see Zoom link below

In the last forty years, the study of singularity formation has mostly concerned model problems and focusing non linearities. In this second lecture, we will try to give a unified overview on the known mechanisms of singularity formation, with in...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Verifying The Unseen: Interactive Proofs for Label-Invariant Distribution Properties
Guy Rothblum
11:15am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Given i.i.d. samples drawn from an unknown distribution over a large domain [N], approximating several basic quantities, such as the distribution's support size and its Shannon Entropy, requires at least roughly (N / \log N) samples [Valiant and...

Hermann Weyl Lectures

On singularity formation for energy super critical problems
Pierre Raphaël
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access - see Zoom link below

The 4th Clay Millenium problem has a very simple formulation: may viscous incompressible fluids form a singularity in finite time? The answer is no in dimension two as proved by Leray in 1932, but the three dimensional problem is out of reach. More...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Sums in progressions over F_q[T], the symmetric group, and geometry
Will Sawin
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214, Princeton University and Remote Access

I will discuss some recent progress in analytic number theory for polynomials over finite fields, giving strong new estimates for the number of primes in arithmetic progressions, as well as for sums of some arithmetic functions in arithmetic...
