Hyperbolic Polynomials and Van der Waerden/Schrijver-Valiant like Conjectures
2:00pm|S-101

The van der Waerden conjecture states that the permanent of N by N doubly stochastic matrix A satisfies the inequality Per(A) >= n! / n^n (VDW bound) and was finally proven (independently) by D.I. Falikman and G.P. Egorychev in 1981. It was for more...

Time-Space Trade-Offs for Predecessor Search
Mikkel Thorup
11:15am|S-101

We develop a new technique for proving cell-probe lower bounds for static data structures. Previous lower bounds used a reduction to communication games, which was known not to be tight by counting arguments. We give the first lower bound for an...

Permanents, Determinants and Non-Commutativity
Alistair Sinclair
11:15am|West Building Lecture Theatre

All known efficient algorithms for computing the determinant of a matrix rely on commutativity of the matrix entries. How important is this property, and could we make use of an algorithm that computes determinants without assuming commutativity? In...

Reconstruction of Depth-3 Arithmetic Circuits
Amir Shpilka
10:30am|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

Depth-3 arithmetic circuits compute polynomials that can be represented as sums of products of linear functions. In spite of their simple structure, we are far from understanding such circuits. In this talk we will focus on the reconstruction...

Solid Modules and Six Functors for Quasi-Coherent Sheaves
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Quasi-coherent sheaves cannot support a six-functor formalism in the same way that e.g. \ell-adic sheaves do. Clausen and Scholze have shown that this can be fixed by extending the category of quasi-coherent sheaves to `solid sheaves’. In this talk...
