Conformal blocks are fundamental objects in the conformal
bootstrap program of 2D conformal field theory and are closely
related to four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory.
In this talk, I will demonstrate a probabilistic construction of
a...
central topic in the theory of computation
is derandomization: say we have an algorithm
which flips coins to achieve some goal, and succeeds with high
probability. Can we transform this algorithm into a deterministic
procedure, while maintaining...
I will explain recent progress on computing approximate ground
states of mean-field spin glass Hamiltonians, which are certain
random functions in high dimension. While the asymptotic ground
state energy OPT is given by the famous Parisi formula...
