Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Approximating large frequency moments with pick-and-drop sampling
Vladimir Braverman
11:15am|West Bldg. Lect. Hall

Given data stream \(D = \{p_1,p_2,...,p_m\}\) of size \(m\) of numbers from \(\{1,..., n\}\), the frequency of \(i\) is defined as \(f_i = |\{j: p_j = i\}|\). The \(k\)-th frequency moment of \(D\) is defined as \(F_k = \sum_{i=1}^n f_i^k\). We...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Volume in Seiberg-Witten theory and the existence of two Reeb orbits
Daniel Cristofaro-Gardiner
1:30pm|S-101

I will discuss recent joint work with Vinicius Gripp and Michael Hutchings relating the volume of any contact three-manifold to the length of certain finite sets of Reeb orbits. I will also explain why this result implies that any closed contact...
