Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Explicit two-source extractors and resilient functions II
Eshan Chattopadhyay
10:30am|S-101

We explicitly construct an extractor for two independent sources on $n$ bits, each with min-entropy at least $\log^C n$ for a large enough constant $C$. Our extractor outputs one bit and has error $n^{-\Omega(1)}$. The best previous extractor, by...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Fixed-point expressions for the Fukaya endomorphism algebra of $RP^{2m}$ and higher genus open invariants
Amitai Zernik
2:00pm|Fine 322, Princeton University

The Atiyah-Bott localization formula has become a valuable tool for computation of symplectic invariants given in terms of integrals on the moduli spaces of holomorphic stable maps. In contrast, the ``open'' moduli spaces, of stable maps of marked...
