Theoretical Machine Learning Seminar

Generalized Framework for Nonlinear Acceleration
Damien Scieur
12:15pm|White Levy Room

Nonlinear Acceleration Algorithms, such as BFGS, were widely used in optimization due to their impressive performance even for large scale problems. However, these methods present a non negligeable number of drawbacks, such as a strong lack of...

Workshop on Mean Curvature and Regularity

Progress in the theory of CMC surfaces in locally homgeneous 3-manifolds X
William Meeks
11:30am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: I will go over some recent work that I have been involved in on surface geometry in complete locally homogeneous 3-manifolds X. In joint work with Mira, Perez and Ros, we have been able to finish a long term project related to the Hopf...

Workshop on Mean Curvature and Regularity

Free boundary minimal Möbius bands
10:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: We will discuss a new family of free boundary minimal Möbius bands in $B^4$ that are critical for higher Steklov eigenvalues among $S^1$-invariant metrics.

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Epsilon dichotomy for linear models
4:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 214

Saito--Tunnell theorem is a local version of Waldspurger's formula, relating the existence of E^\times invariant linear forms on representation of GL_2 to local root numbers. I present a generalization of this which relates the existence of GL_n(E)...

Workshop on Mean Curvature and Regularity

The embedded Calabi-Yau problem for minimal surfaces of finite genus
Joaquin Perez
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: We will explain how to prove properness of a complete embedded minimal surface in Euclidean three-space, provided that the surface has finite genus and countably many limit ends (and possibly compact boundary). This is joint work with...

Workshop on Mean Curvature and Regularity

Generic uniqueness of expanders with vanishing relative entropy
Felix Schulze
11:30am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: We define a relative entropy for two expanding solutions to mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces, asymptotic to the same smooth cone at infinity. Adapting work of White and using recent results of Bernstein and Bernstein-Wang, we show that...

Workshop on Mean Curvature and Regularity

Locating Minimal Surfaces in Geometrostatic Manifolds
10:00am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: In 1963 Brill and Lindquist asked where one might find the apparent horizons of charged black holes in geometrostatic manifolds that arise as time symmetric solutions to vacuum Einstein Maxwell constraint equations. These manifolds are...
