Continuity of Optimal Transport Maps Under a Degenerate MTW Condition
Young-Heon Kim
1:30pm|S-101

In optimal transport theory, one wants to understand the phenomena arising when mass is transported in a cheapest way. This variational problem is governed by the structure of the transportation cost function defined on the product of the source and...

Combinatorial Reasoning in Information Theory
Noga Alon
10:30am|S-101

Combinatorial arguments have played a crucial role in the investigation of several surprising phenomena in Information Theory. After a brief discussion of some of these results I will describe a recent example, based on joint work with Hassidim...

Multiplicity One Theorems -- A Uniform Proof
Avraham Aizenbud
3:30pm|S-101

Let F be a local field of characteristic 0. We consider distributions on GL(n+1,F) which are invariant under the adjoint action of GL(n,F). We prove that such distributions are invariant under transposition. This implies that an irreducible...

Trace Formulae and Locally Symmetric Spaces
Jayce Getz
2:00pm|S-101

Trace formulae and relative trace formulae can be used to study the rich geometry of locally symmetric spaces. I will explain some illustrative examples coming from unitary groups in this talk.
