T-equivariant disc potentials of toric manifolds
February 11, 2020 4:15 pmSpeaker: Yoosik Kim
In this talk, we discuss how to derive the equivariant SYZ mirror of toric manifolds by counting holomorphic discs. In the case of (semi-)Fano toric manifolds, those mirrors recover Givental's...

Mathematical Picture Language Seminar: Quantum algorithms for classical sampling problems
February 11, 2020 3:30 pmSpeaker: Dominik Wild
Sampling from a classical, thermal distribution is, in general, a computationally hard problem. In particular, standard Monte Carlo algorithms converge slowly close to a phase transition or in the presence...

Brill-Noether Theory of Prym Varieties
February 11, 2020 3:00 pmSpeaker: Yoav Len
The talk will revolve around combinatorial aspects Prym varieties, a class of Abelian varieties that occurs in the presence of double covers. Pryms have deep connections with torsion points of...

Current Notions Seminar: p-adic motivic complexes in characteristic p
February 11, 2020 11:00 amSpeaker: Elden Elmanto
Motivic complexes of Voevodsky have no right to two properties (1) cohomological sparsity and (2) a relationship with differential forms. This is, however, true p-adically over characteristic p by a result of...

CMSA Mathematical Physics Seminar: On eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the clamped plate
February 10, 2020 12:00 pmSpeaker: Dan Mangoubi
A celebrated theorem of C.L. Siegel from 1929 shows that the multiplicity of eigenvalues for the Laplace eigenfunctions on the unit disk is at most two. We study the fourth...

Viterbo transfer as localization
February 7, 2020 3:30 pmSpeaker: Zack Sylvan
I'll discuss the Viterbo transfer functor from the (partially) wrapped Fukaya category of a Liouville domain to that of a subdomain. It is a localization when everything in sight is...

CMSA General Relativity Seminar: Improvability of the dominant energy scalar and Bartnik’s stationary conjecture
February 7, 2020 10:30 amSpeaker: Lan-Hsuan Huang
In this talk, we will introduce the concept of improvabilty of the dominant energy scalar and discuss strong consequences of non-improvability. We employ new, large families of deformations of the...

Thursday Seminar: Automorphisms of E_n-operads
February 6, 2020 3:00 pmSpeaker: Sander Kupers
I will give an introduction to the topic of this semester's seminar: the automorphisms of E_n-operads. Our main goal is to understand the computation of Fresse, Turchin and Willwacher of...
