Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

A central limit theorem for Gaussian polynomials and deterministic approximate counting for polynomial threshold functions
10:30am|West Bldg. Lect. Hall

In this talk, we will continue, the proof of the Central Limit theorem from my last talk. We will show that that the law of "eigenregular" Gaussian polynomials is close to a Gaussian. The proof will be based on Stein's method and will be dependent...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Moments of zeta functions associated to hyperelliptic curves
4:30pm|Fine 214, Princeton University

I will discuss conjectures, theorems, and experiments concerning the moments, at the central point, of zeta functions associated to hyperelliptic curves over finite fields of odd characteristic. Let \(q\) be an odd prime power, and \(H_{d,q}\)...

Recovering elliptic curves from their \(p\)-torsion
Benjamin Bakker
11:00am|S-101

Given an elliptic curve \(E\) over a field \(k\), its \(p\)-torsion \(E[p]\) gives a 2-dimensional representation of the Galois group \(G_k\) over \(\mathbb F_p\). The Frey-Mazur conjecture asserts that for \(k= \mathbb Q\) and \(p > 13\), \(E\) is...

Geometric structure and the local Langlands conjecture
4:30pm|Fine 214, Princeton University

Let \(G\) be a connected split reductive \(p\)-adic group. Examples are \(\mathrm{GL}(n,F)\), \(\mathrm{SL}(n, F )\), \(\mathrm{SO}(n, F)\), \(\mathrm{Sp}(2n, F )\), \(\mathrm{PGL}(n, F )\) where \(n\) can be any positive integer and \(F\) can be...

Geometry of metrics and measure concentration in abstract ergodic theory
Tim Austin
2:00pm|S-101

Many of the major results of modern ergodic theory can be understood in terms of a sequence of finite metric measure spaces constructed from the marginal distributions of a shift-invariant process. Most simply, the growth rate of their covering...
