Special Year Seminar I

Combinatorial Inequalities and Combinatorial Interpretations: Part III
2:00pm|Simonyi 101

In the third talk, I will concentrate on inequalities for linear extensionsof finite posets.  I will start with several inequalities which do have a combinatorial proof.  I will then turn to Stanley's inequality and outline the proof why its defect...

Non-escape of Mass for Arithmetic Quantum Limits on Hyperbolic 4-Manifolds
Alexandre de Faveri
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

The Arithmetic Quantum Unique Ergodicity (AQUE) conjecture predicts that the $L^2$ mass of Hecke-Maass cusp forms on an arithmetic hyperbolic manifold becomes equidistributed as the Laplace eigenvalue grows. If the underlying manifold is non-compact...

Higher Dimensional Fourier Quasicrystals from Lee-Yang Varieties
Pavel Kurasov
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Fourier Quasicrystals (FQ) are defined as crystalline measures $$ \mu = \sum_{\lambda \in \Lambda} a_\lambda \delta_\lambda, \quad \hat{\mu} = \sum_{s \in S} b_s \delta_s, $$ so that not only $ \mu $ (and hence $ \hat{\mu} $) are tempered...

Combinatorial Inequalities and Combinatorial Interpretations: Part II
2:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall

In the second talk, I will concentrate on polynomial inequalities and whether the defect (the difference of two sides) has a combinatorial interpretation.  For example, does the inequality  $x^2+y^2 \geq 2xy$  have a combinatorial proof and what...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Subgroup Tests and Tailored Non-local Games
Michael Chapman
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In the previous talk, we defined Subgroup Tests and the interactive proof system induced by them. In addition, we showed that if the Aldous--Lyons conjecture was true, then this interactive proof system contains only decidable languages. In this...

Hodge theory for non-Archimedean analytic spaces
3:35pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

By Deligne's Hodge theory, the integral cohomology groups H^n(X^h, Z) of the C-analytification of a separated scheme X of finite type over C are provided with a mixed Hodge structure, functorial in X. Given a non-Archimedean field K isomorphic to...

Combinatorial Inequalities and Combinatorial Interpretations: Part I
2:00pm|Rubenstein Commons | Meeting Room 5

In the first talk, I will give a broad survey of classical inequalities that arise in enumerative and algebraic combinatorics.  I will discuss how these inequalities lead to questions about combinatorial interpretations, and how these questions...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Subgroup Tests and the Aldous--Lyons Conjecture
Michael Chapman
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

A common theme in mathematics is that limits of finite objects are well behaved. This allows one to prove many theorems about finitely approximable objects, while leaving the general case open --- examples for this are Gottschalk's conjecture...
