Special Mathematical Physics Seminar

The Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation (NLSE) with a Random Potential: Effective Noise and Scaling Theory
Shmuel Fishman
4:00pm|S-101

The NLSE is relevant for the explorations of Bose-Einstein Condensates and for Nonlinear Classical Optics. In presence of a random potential it can be used to study the competition between Anderson localization, that is characteristic of linear...

Short Talks by Postdoctoral Members

Extended Scaling Relations for Weak-Universal Models
2:30pm|S-101

I will introduce some example of models of Statistical Mechanics that are called 'weak-universal' and I will discuss the role of the extended scaling relations for the critical indexes. Finally I will mention some results and some works in progress...

New Computations of the Riemann Zeta Function
2:00pm|S-101

I'll describe joint work (in progress) with Ghaith Hiary on implementing and running Hiary's O(t^1/3) algorithm for computing the zeta function and give some highlights of recent computations.

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Invariance Principles in Theoretical Computer Science
10:30am|S-101

In this talk I will insult your intelligence by showing a non-original proof of the Central Limit Theorem, with not-particularly-good error bounds. However, the proof is very simple and flexible, allowing generalizations to multidimensional and...
