Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Getting the most from our data
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access - see Zoom link below

I will discuss techniques, structural results, and open problems from two of my recent papers, in the context of a broader area of work on the motivating question: "how do we get the most from our data?"

In the first part of the talk, I will...

Sharp nonuniqueness for the Navier-Stokes equations
Xiaoyutao Luo
4:30pm|Remote Access

For the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, classical results state that weak solutions are unique in the so-called Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin regime. A scaling analysis suggests that classical uniqueness results are sharp, but current...

Support Varieties for Modular Representations
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We present an overview of elementary methods to study extensions of modular representations of various types of "groups". We shall begin by discussing actions of an elementary abelian $p$-group, $E = (Z/p)^r$, on finite dimensional vector spaces...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Thresholds for Random Subspaces, aka, LDPC Codes Achieve List-Decoding Capacity
Mary Wootters
11:15am|Remote Access - see Zoom link below

What combinatorial properties are likely to be satisfied by a random subspace over a finite field? For example, is it likely that not too many points lie in any Hamming ball of fixed radius? What about any combinatorial rectangle of fixed side...

Yu-Wei Fan (Berkeley),Shifting numbers in triangulated categories
 
Abstract: One can consider endofunctors of triangulated categories as categorical dynamical systems, and study their long term behaviors under large iterations. There are (at least...
