Macdonald Processes and Some Applications in Probability and Integrable Systems
Ivan Corwin
Macdonald processes are probability measures on sequences of
partitions de?ned in terms of nonnegative specializations of the
Macdonald symmetric functions and two parameters q, t ? [0,1).
Utilizing the Macdonald difference operators we prove...
The Energy-Critical Defocusing NLS in Periodic Settings
I will discuss some recent work, joint with B. Pausader, on
constructing global solutions of defocusing energy-critical
nonlinear Schrodinger equations in periodic and semiperiodic
settings.
Shorter Long Code and Applications to Unique Games
The long code is a central tool in hardness of approximation,
especially in questions related to the unique games conjecture.
Many hardness reductions and constructions of integrality gap
instances use the long code as a core gadget. However, this...
Loop Products and Dynamics
A metric on a compact manifold M gives rise to a length function
on the free loop space LM whose critical points are the closed
geodesics on M in the given metric. Morse theory gives a link
between Hamiltonian dynamics and the topology of loop...
Entropy-Based Bounds on Dimension Reduction in L_1
We show that there exists an $N$-point subset of $L_1$ such that
for every $D > 1$, embedding it into $\ell^d_1$ with distortion
$D$ requires dimension $d$ at least $N^{\Omega(1/D^2)}$, and that
for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an $N$-point...
There will be no meeting of the seminar this week.
