Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Rigorous RG: a provably efficient and possibly practical algorithm for simulating 1D quantum systems
Umesh Vazirani
11:00am

One of the great mysteries in computational condensed matter physics is the remarkable practical success of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm, since its invention a quarter century ago, for finding low energy states of 1D...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

(2^infty)-Selmer groups, (2^infty)-class groups, and Goldfeld's conjecture
Alex Smith
4:30pm

Take \(E/Q\) to be an elliptic curve with full rational 2-torsion (satisfying some extra technical assumptions). In this talk, we will show that 100% of the quadratic twists of \(E\) have rank less than two, thus proving that the BSD conjecture...

Locally Symmetric Spaces: Analytical and Topological Aspects

12:00am

 

 

There were two workshops during the academic year. The term I workshop, "Motives, Galois representations and cohomology around the Langlands program", was held November 6-10, 2017. The term II workshop "Representation Theory and Analysis...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Subconvex equidistribution of cusp forms
Paul Nelson
4:30pm

Arithmetic quantum chaos concerns the limiting behavior of a sequence of automorphic forms on spaces such as the modular surface. It is now known in many cases (by work of Lindenstrauss, Holowinsky, Soundararajan and others) that the mass...

Analysis/Mathematical Physics Seminar

Orbital stability of standing waves for dispersive models
Shijun Zheng
1:30pm

I will review recent progress on some dispersive type PDEs including the nonlinear magnetic and fractional Schroedinger equations with singular and unbounded potentials. This study is motivated by related open questions in the area in oder to...
