Characteristic Polynomials of the Hermitian Wigner and Sample Covariance Matrices
Tatyana Shcherbina
4:30pm|S-101

We consider asymptotics of the correlation functions of characteristic polynomials of the hermitian Wigner matrices $H_n=n^{-1/2}W_n$ and the hermitian sample covariance matrices $X_n=n^{-1}A_{m,n}^*A_{m,n}$. We use the integration over the...

The Defocusing Cubic Nonlinear Wave Equation in the Energy-Supercritical Regime
3:15pm|S-101

In this talk, we will present some recent results in the study of the nonlinear wave equation with cubic defocusing nonlinearity, describing the completion of a program to establish global well-posedness and scattering in the energy-supercritical...

Hermann Weyl Lectures

Chow Rings, Decomposition of the Diagonal and the Topology of Families
2:00pm|S-101

Summary: These lectures are devoted to the interplay between cohomology and Chow groups of a complex algebraic variety, and also to the consequences, on the topology of a family of smooth projective varieties, of statements concerning Chow groups of...

Mantel's Theorem for Random Graphs
Jeff Kahn
11:15am|S-101

For a graph $G$, let $t(G)$ (resp. $b(G)$) denote the maximum size of a triangle-free (resp. bipartite) subgraph of $G$. Of course $t(G) \geq b(G)$ for any $G$, and a classic result of Mantel from 1907 (the first case of Turan’s Theorem) says $t(K_n...
