Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Learning arithmetic circuits in the average case via lower bounds
Ankit Garg
11:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

The problem of learning arithmetic circuits is the following: given a polynomial as a black box that is promised to have a small arithmetic circuit computing it, can we find this arithmetic circuit? This problem is hard in the worst case and so...

Geometric lifts of odd Galois representations
Stefan Patrikis
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

Let G be a reductive group. Following Gross, and generalizing Serre's classical notion in the two-dimensional case, I will define what it means for a G-valued representation of the Galois group of a (totallyreal) number field to be odd. This notion...
