Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Pseudo-Random Number Generation by Algebraic Means (continued)
10:30am|S-101

In the first talk I reviewed the basic properties of linear feedback shift registers and their analysis using generating functions and trace functions. I then defined feedback with carry shift registers (FCSRs) and began their analysis by N-adic...

Homological Mirror Symmetry Seminar

The Categorification of Vassiliev Theory
2:00pm|S-101

Many Floer-type theories are the categorifications of classical invariants. We describe a program of classification of such theories: we consider them as local systems on the spaces of manifolds that we constructed and extend them to the singular...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Data-Powered Computing
11:15am|S-101

Traditional algorithm design is being challenged by the remarkable technological advances in data acquisition of recent years. Today's algorithms must often cope with data that is massive, noisy, uncertain, high-dimensional, nonuniformly priced...

Local-Global Compatibility in p-Adic Langlands for GL_2(Q)
Matthew Emerton
5:30pm|Fine Hall 322, Princeton University

In this talk I will explain some recent results on local-global compatibility for the action of GL_2 of the finite adeles on the p-adically completed cohomology of modular curves, as well as some applications of these results (e.g. to the Fontaine...
