Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Finite Field Restriction Estimates
10:30am|S-101

The Kakeya and restriction conjectures are two of the central open problems in Euclidean Fourier analysis (with the second logically implying the first, and progress on the first typically implying progress on the second). Both of these have...

Using the DFS Algorithm for Finding Long Paths in Random and Pseudo-Random Graphs
11:15am|S-101

The Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm is one of the most standard graph exploration algorithms, used normally to find the connected components of an input graph. Though perhaps less popular than its sister algorithm, Breadth First Search (BFS), the...

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

Universal current fluctuations in non equilibrium systems
Bernard Derrida
4:00pm|S-101

Fluctuations of the current of one dimensional non equilibrium diffusive systems are well understood. After a short review of the one dimensional results, the talk will try to show that the statistics of these fluctuations are exactly the same in...
