Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Four and a half proofs of a product-measure version of the Erdös-Ko-Rado Theorem.
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

The EKR theorem, which is the cornerstone of extremal combinatorics, characterizes maximal intersecting families of sets. Its setting fixes a ground set of size n, and then studies the size and structure of intersecting families of subsets of fixed...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Eisenstein ideal with squarefree level
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214

In his influential paper "Modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal", Mazur studied congruences modulo p between cusp forms and the Eisenstein series of weight 2 and prime level N. In particular, he defined the Eisenstein ideal in the relevant Hecke...

Vladimir Voevodsky Memorial Conference

On the proof of the conservativity conjecture
11:30am|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: I will review the strategy of the proof of the conservativity conjecture for the classical realisations of Voevodsky motives over a characteristic zero fields. I will also mention some other consequences of this proof such as the...

Vladimir Voevodsky Memorial Conference

Univalence from a computer science point-of-view
Dan Licata
9:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: One formal system for Voevodsky's univalent foundations is Martin-Löf's type theory. This type theory is the basis of proof assistants, such as Agda, Coq, and NuPRL, that are used not only for the formalization of mathematics, but in...

Vladimir Voevodsky Memorial Conference

A search for an algebraic equivalence analogue of motivic theories
Eric Friedlander
4:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall

Abstract: We reflect on mathematical efforts made years ago, initiated by Blaine Lawson and much influenced by Vladimir Voevodsky's work. In work with Lawson, Mazur, Walker, Suslin, and Haesemyer, a "semi-topological theory" for cohomology and K...
