Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

High dimensional expansion and agreement testing
10:30am|https://theias.zoom.us/j/360043913

In this talk I will describe the notion of "agreement tests" that are motivated by PCPs but stand alone as a combinatorial property-testing question. I will show that high dimensional expanders support agreement tests, thereby derandomizing direct...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Optimal tiling the Euclidean space using symmetric bodies
11:00am|https://theias.zoom.us/j/360043913

We say a body B tiles the space R^n if the shifted bodies (B+z), for z\in Z^n, are all disjoint and cover R^n. In this talk, we consider the problem of finding the least surface area a tiling body B can have, for bodies B symmetric under coordinate...
