Special Lecture in Geometry/Topology

Microlocal Theory of Sheaves and Applications to Non-Displaceability III
Pierre Schapira
4:00pm|S-101

In these two lectures, I will come back and develop the material outlined in the Monday Seminar. More precisely, I will explain with more details the notion of microsupport of sheaves and its behaviour with respect to the operations, in particular...

Geometry and Cell Complexes Seminar

Topological Analysis of Grain Boundaries
Srikanth Patala
2:00pm|S-101

Polycrystalline materials, such as metals, ceramics and geological materials, are aggregates of single-crystal grains that are held together by highly defective boundaries. The structure of grain boundaries is determined by five geometric parameters...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

On The Complexity of Computing Roots and Residuosity Over Finite Fields
10:30am|S-101

We study the complexity of computing some basic arithmetic operations over GF(2^n), namely computing q-th root and q-th residuosity, by constant depth arithmetic circuits over GF(2) (also known as AC^0(parity)). Our main result is that these...

Members’ Seminar

Microlocal Theory of Sheaves and Applications to Non-Displaceability
Pierre Schapira
2:00pm|S-101

I will explain the main notions of the microlocal theory of sheaves: the microsupport and its behaviour with respect to the operations, with emphasis on the Morse lemma for sheaves. Then, inspired by the recent work of Tamarkin but with really...

Generic Local $L^\infty$-Bounds for Conformal Families of Laplace Operators
John Toth
2:00pm|S-101

Let (M,g) be a compact, closed manifold and g_u be a family of conformal metric deformations of g supported in a small ball B(\delta) of radius \delta>0. We show that for a class of such deformations, the corresponding Laplace eigenfunctions almost...
