Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Obfuscating Programs Against Algebraic Attacks
Yael Tauman-Kalai
11:15am|S-101

The goal of (general-purpose) program obfuscation is to make an arbitrary computer program "unintelligible" while preserving its functionality. The problem of program obfuscation is well studied both in theory and in practice. Though despite its...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Finite Energy Foliations and Connect Sums
1:30pm|Fine 322, Princeton University

I will present some recent joint work with Richard Siefring on the behavior of finite energy foliations under the action of a 0-surgery (i.e. a connect sum) and a 2-surgery. We will then discuss applications to the restricted three body problem.

Mathematical Conversations

Stochastic integrable systems
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

Some parts of the random matrix/nonequilibrium workshop will be concerned with stochastic models which are tagged as integrable. I will briefly recall the notion of classical integrability and quantum integrability, just to provide similarities and...

Non-equilibrium Dynamics and Random Matrices

Macdonald processes II
2:00pm|S-101

Our goal is to explain how certain basic representation theoretic ideas and constructions encapsulated in the form of Macdonald processes lead to nontrivial asymptotic results in various `integrable'; probabilistic problems. Examples include dimer...
