The purpose of the talk is to discuss a class of pseudo-metrics that can be defined on the set of objects of a triangulated category whose morphisms are endowed with a notion of weight. In case the objects are Lagrangian submanifolds (possibly...

In his work on modularity theorems, Wiles proved a numerical criterion for a map of rings R->T to be an isomorphism of complete intersections. In addition to proving modularity theorems, this numerical criterion also implies a connection between the...

This talk surveys the role of margins in the analysis of deep networks. As a concrete highlight, it sketches a perceptron-based analysis establishing that shallow ReLU networks can achieve small test error even when they are quite narrow, sometimes...

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...

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...

The Institute has put the following precautionary measures in place in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and asks that you help keep our campus healthy while here by being intentionally hygienic in public, washing your hands frequently and...
