Heegner points and a B-SD conjecture
4:30pm|Fine 214, Princeton University

We prove a B-SD conjecture for elliptic curves (for the \(p^\infty\) Selmer groups with arbitrary rank) a la Mazur-Tate and Darmon in anti-cyclotomic setting, for certain primes \(p\). This is done, among other things, by proving a conjecture of...

On sparse block models
Elchanan Mossel
3:00pm|Fine 314, Princeton University

Block models are random graph models which have been extensively studied in statistics and theoretical computer science as models of communities and clustering. A conjecture from statistical physics by Decelle et. al predicts an exact formula for...

Multiple Dirichlet Series
4:30pm|Fine 314, Princeton University

We review the theory of multiple Dirichlet series which are Dirichlet series in several complex variables having analytic continuation with finitely many polar divisors and satisfying a finite group of functional equations. Converse theorems state...
