Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Goren-Oort Stratification of Hilbert Modular Varieties mod p and Tate Conjecture
Liang Xiao
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214

In this talk, I will report on an on-going joint project with David Helm and Yichao Tian. Let p be a prime unramified in a totally real field F. The Goren-Oort strata are defined by the vanishing locus of the partial Hasse-invariants; it is an...

Workshop on Topology: Identifying Order in Complex Systems

The Optimality of the Interleaving Distance on Multidimensional Persistence Modules
Michael Lesnick
5:00pm|S-101

Persistent homology is a central object of study in applied topology. It offers a flexible framework for defining invariants, called barcodes, of point cloud data and of real valued functions. Many of the key results of the last several years in the...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Derandomization of Probabilistic Logspace (The Nisan Variations)
Avi Wigderson
10:30am|S-101

I will continue the exposition of different derandmization techniques for probabilistic logspace algorithms. The material of this talk will assume only little knowledge from the first talk.
