Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

An introductory survey on expanders and their applications
Avi Wigderson
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access - see Zoom link below

Expander graphs are among the most useful objects in computer science and mathematics. They have found applications in numerous areas of both. I will review their definition, and explain some of the many applications. Time permitting, I will also...

Triangulated persistence categories
Jun Zhang
9:15am|Remote Access

This talk will discuss a new algebraic structure called triangulated persistence category (TPC). It combines the triangulated category structure with the persistence module structure. This algebraic structure can be used to associate a metric...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

A non-archimedean definable Chow theorem
Abhishek Oswal
4:30pm|Remote Access

In recent years, o-minimality has found some striking applications to diophantine geometry. The utility of o-minimal structures originates from the remarkably tame topological properties satisfied by sets definable in such structures. Despite the...
