Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Rounding Large Independent Sets on Expanders
Tim Hsieh
11:00am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, we will present a new approach for approximating large independent sets when the input graph is a one-sided expander—that is, the uniform random walk matrix of the graph has second eigenvalue bounded away from 1. Specifically, we show...

Princeton University Extrasolar Planet Discussion Group

No planet is an island: insights from planets’ interactions with their environments
Janosz Dewberry (CITA)
12:00pm|Zoom and Peyton Dome Rm, Princeton University

Gas giant planets’ deep internal structures and basic properties remain uncertain, even in our own solar system. Fortunately, the interactions of planets with their environments offer complementary insight to direct observations. I will describe how...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Symplectic Aspects of the Hilbert-Smith Conjecture and $p$-adic Actions.
Egor Shelukhin
12:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss a recent proof of new cases of the Hilbert-Smith conjecture for actions by homeomorphisms of symplectic nature. In particular, it rules out faithful actions of the additive $p$-adic group in this setting and provides further...

Joint IAS/Princeton Arithmetic Geometry Seminar

The Geometric Langlands Conjecture
Sam Raskin
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

I will describe the main ideas that go into the proof of the (unramified, global) geometric Langlands conjecture. All of this work is joint with Gaitsgory and some parts are joint with Arinkin, Beraldo, Chen, Faergeman, Lin, and Rozenblyum. I will...

Joint IAS/Princeton/Montreal/Paris/Tel-Aviv Symplectic Geometry Zoominar

Invariant Sets and Hyperbolic Periodic Orbits
Viktor Ginzburg
9:15am|Remote Access

The presence of hyperbolic periodic orbits or invariant sets often has an affect on the global behavior of a dynamical system. In this talk we discuss two theorems along the lines of this phenomenon, extending some properties of Hamiltonian...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Supersymmetric Approach to the Analysis of Random Band Matrices
Mariya Shcherbina
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We discuss an application of the SUSY approach to the analysis of spectral characteristics of hermitian and non hermitian random band matrices. In 1D case the obtained integral representations for correlation functions of characteristic polynomials...
