Hodge and Chern Numbers of Algebraic Varieties 60 Years After Hirzebruch's Riemann-Roch Theorem
2:00pm|S-101

In its simplest form, Hirzebruch's 1953 Riemann-Roch theorem is an identity between certain combinations of Hodge numbers on the one hand and certain combinations of Chern numbers on the other. I will show that there are no other such identities...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Quasirandom Hypergraphs
Dhruv Mubayi
11:15am|S-101

Since the foundational results of Thomason and Chung-Graham-Wilson on quasirandom graphs over 20 years ago, there has been a lot of effort by many researchers to extend the theory to hypergraphs. I will present some of this history, and then...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Intermediate Symplectic Capacities
1:30pm|S-101

In 1985 Misha Gromov proved his Nonsqueezing Theorem, and hence constructed the first symplectic 1-capacity. In 1989 Helmut Hofer asked whether symplectic d-capacities exist if 1 d n. I will discuss the answer to this question and its relevance in...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Standard and Nonstandard Comparisons of Relative Trace Formulas
4:30pm|S-101

The trace formula has been the most powerful and mainstream tool in automorphic forms for proving instances of Langlands functoriality, including character relations. Its generalization, the relative trace formula, has also been used to prove...

Mathematical Conversations

Local Codes and Symmetry
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

Many times in theoretical computer science we meet codes that have some local properties. For example Locally Decodable codes, Locally Testable codes, codes with Low Density Parity Check Matrix, Self Correctable codes and many others. In this talk...
