Homological Mirror Symmetry (Mini-Course)

Non-archimedean geometry for symplectic geometers
10:45am|S-101

I will explain basic tools for thinking about derived categories of coherent sheaves on rigid analytic spaces that are conducive to the study of homological mirror symmetry. A particular focus will be placed on the case of curves, and on methods...

Short Talks by Postdoctoral Members

Resilient functions
4:15pm|S-101

A resilient function $f: X^n \to \{0,1\}$, for some set $X$, is such that every subset of coordinates of bounded size has small influence on the function. Such functions have applications in computer science, and are of independent interest of study...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Algebraic geometric codes and their applications
10:30am|S-101

In 1975 Goppa suggested a general method for constructing error correcting codes based on algebraic geometry. In a long line of research such codes were constructed, constituting as a precious example of a construction that beats the probabilistic...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Lagrangian cell complexes and Markov numbers
Jonny Evans
10:30am|West Building Lecture Hall

Joint work with Ivan Smith. Let p be a positive integer. Take the quotient of a 2-disc by the equivalence relation which identifies two boundary points if the boundary arc connecting them subtends an angle which is an integer multiple of ($2 \pi / p...
