Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

A Frieman Isomorphism-type Lemma for Polynomials
Philip Matchett Wood
11:15am|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

A Freiman isomorphism is a fundamental object in additive combinatorics that allows one to move an additive problem from one group to another, all while preserving the salient additive properties. In this talk, we will discuss a new mapping result...

Categories and Knot Invariants

Knot Homology and Braid Group Actions on Derived Categories of Coherent Sheaves
Joel Kamnitzer
10:30am|S-101

Due to the pioneering work of Khovanov, there has been a lot of recent interest in certain knot homology theories. I will explain a program to construct these knot homology theories using braid group actions on derived categories of coherent sheaves...
