  • CMSA EVENT: CMSA Interdisciplinary Science Seminar: Exploring and Exploiting the Universality Phenomena in High-Dimensional Estimation and Learning

    CMSA EVENT
    CMSA Interdisciplinary Science Seminar: Exploring and Exploiting the Universality Phenomena in High-Dimensional Estimation and Learning

    9:00 AM-10:00 AM
    August 11, 2022
    CMSA, 20 Garden St, G10
    1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA
    Universality is a fascinating high-dimensional phenomenon. It points to the existence of universal laws that govern the macroscopic behavior of wide classes of large and complex systems, despite their differences in microscopic details. The notion of universality originated in statistical mechanics, especially in the study of phase transitions. Similar phenomena have been observed in probability theory, dynamical systems, random matrix theory, and number theory.
    In this talk, I will present some recent progresses in rigorously understanding and exploiting the universality phenomena in the context of statistical estimation and learning on high-dimensional data. Examples include spectral methods for high-dimensional projection pursuit, statistical learning based on kernel and random feature models, and approximate message passing algorithms on highly structured, strongly correlated, and even (nearly) deterministic data matrices. Together, they demonstrate the robustness and wide applicability of the universality phenomena.

    CMSA Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics: Transport in large-N critical fermi surface

    10:00 AM-11:30 AM
    August 16, 2022

    A Fermi surface coupled to a scalar field can be described in a 1/N expansion by choosing the fermion-scalar Yukawa coupling to be random in the N-dimensional flavor space, but invariant under translations. We compute the conductivity of such a theory in two spatial dimensions for a critical scalar. We find a Drude contribution, and show that a previously proposed  mega^{-2/3} contribution to the optical conductivity at frequency mega has vanishing co-efficient. We also describe the influence of impurity scattering of the fermions, and find that while the self energy resembles a marginal Fermi liquid, the resistivity behaves like a Fermi liquid.  Arxiv references: 2203.04990, 2207.08841
