Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

The communication complexity of distributed subgraph detection
Rotem Oshman
11:15am|S-101

In distributed systems, communication between the participants in the computation is usually the most expensive part of the computation. Theoretical models of distributed systems usually reflect this by neglecting the cost of local computation, and...

The standard \(L\)-function for \(G_2\): a "new way"
Nadya Gurevich
4:30pm|S-101

We consider a Rankin-Selberg integral representation of a cuspidal (not necessarily generic) representation of the exceptional group \(G_2\). Although the integral unfolds with a non-unique model, it turns out to be Eulerian and represents the...

Topology of Algebraic Varieties

The topology of proper toric maps
Mark Andrea de Cataldo
11:15am|S-101

I will discuss some of the topology of the fibers of proper toric maps and a combinatorial invariant that comes out of this picture. Joint with Luca Migliorini and Mircea Mustata.
