Workshop on Symplectic Dynamics

The free surface water wave problem as a Hamiltonian system
Walter Craig
11:30am|Wolfensohn Hall
The Euler equations for the dynamics of a fluid domain with a free surface can be formulated as a Hamiltonian system in an infinite dimensional phase space. The Hamiltonian has been derived by Zakharov, and the Hamiltonian vector field evokes the...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

A Little Advice Can Be Very Helpful
Arkadev Chattopadhyay
11:15am|S-101

Proving superpolylogarithmic lower bounds for dynamic data structures has remained an open problem despite years of research. Recently, Patrascu proposed an exciting new approach for breaking this barrier via a two player communication model in...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Qualitative Properties of Gromov-Witten Invariants
Aleksey Zinger
4:30pm|Fine Hall -- Room 322

Over 15 years ago, di Francesco and Itzykson gave an estimate on the growth (as the degree increases) of the number of plane rational curves passing through the appropriate number of points. This provides an example of an upper bound on (primary)...
