Richard P. Stanley Seminar in Combinatorics: Szemer\’edi’s theorem and nilsequences

SEMINARS, HARVARD-MIT COMBINATORICS

April 5, 2024 - April 27, 2024 3:00 pm

Speaker: James Leng - UCLA

Suppose A is a subset of the natural numbers with positive density. A classical result in additive combinatorics, Szemeredi’s theorem, states that for each positive integer k, A must have...

Harvard-MIT Algebraic Geometry Seminar: The Chow ring of the universal Picard stack over the hyperelliptic locus

SEMINARS, HARVARD-MIT ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY

April 23, 2024 3:00 pm

Speaker: Hannah Larson - UC Berkeley

Understanding the line bundles on curves are essential to understanding the curves themselves. As such, the universal Picard stack J^d_g --> M_g parametrizing degree d line bundles on genus g...

Richard P. Stanley Seminar in Combinatorics: Bender–Knuth Billiards in Coxeter Groups When

SEMINARS, HARVARD-MIT COMBINATORICS

April 24, 2024 4:15 pm

Speaker: Colin Defant - Harvard

Let (W,S) be a Coxeter system, and write S={s_i : i is in I}, where I is a finite index set. Consider a nonempty finite convex subset L of W....

Open Neighborhood Seminar: Inferring the past with Bayes’ rule

SEMINARS, OPEN NEIGHBORHOOD

April 24, 2024 4:30 pm

Speaker: Arthur Parzygnat - MIT

We make predictions of the future by using initial conditions and the probabilities of transitioning from one state to another via some process. To make inference about the past, we...

Richard P. Stanley Seminar in Combinatorics: Colored Interacting Particle Systems on the Ring: Stationary Measures from Yang–Baxter Equation

SEMINARS, HARVARD-MIT COMBINATORICS

April 26, 2024 3:00 pm

Speaker: Matthew Nicoletti - MIT

Recently, there has been much progress in understanding stationary measures for colored (also called multi-species or multi-type) interacting particle systems, motivated by asymptotic phenomena and rich underlying algebraic and combinatorial...

Introductory Math Seminar: Choosing Your First Math Class

SEMINARS

April 30, 2024 3:00 pm

Speaker: Monique Harrison - University of Pennsylvania

Dr. Monique Harrison will be sharing her work with the Harvard Math Department, the conclusion of a survey and interview study in the Fall 2023 semester. Math courses at Harvard...
