Existence of Small Families of t-wise Independent Permutations and t-Designs Via Local Limit Theorems
10:30am|S-101

We show existence of rigid combinatorial objects that previously were not known to exist. Specifically, we consider two families of objects: 1. A family of permutations on n elements is t-wise independent if it acts uniformly on tuples of t elements...

Symplectic Dynamics

12:00am

The mathematical theory of dynamical systems provides tools to understand the complex behavior of many important physical systems. Of particular interest are Hamiltonian systems. Since Poincaré's fundamental contributions many mathematical tools...
