April 16, 2024 - April 17, 2024 2:32 pmThe Cohen-Lenstra heuristic studies the distribution of the p-part of the class group of quadratic number fields for odd prime $p$. Gerth’s conjecture regards the distribution of the $2$-part of...

CMSA GENERAL RELATIVITY SEMINAR, CMSA EVENTS
April 16, 2024 11:00 amWe consider four-dimensional Euclidean gravity in a finite cavity. We point out that there exists a one-parameter family of boundary conditions, parameterized by a real constant, where a suitably Weyl-rescaled...

PROBABILITY, SEMINARS
April 16, 2024 1:30 pmWe consider a complex Ginibre ensemble of random matrices with a deformation $H=H_0+A$, where $H_0$ is a Gaussian complex Ginibre matrix and $A$ is a rather general deformation matrix. The...

April 12, 2024 3:00 pmErdos-Kleitman-Rothschild proved that the number of triangle-free graphs on n vertices is asymptotic to the number of bipartite graphs; or in other words, a typical triangle-free graph is a random...

April 12, 2024 12:00 pmIt is important to understand if the `solutions' of non-linear evolutionary PDEs persist for all time or become extinct in finite time through the blow-up of invariant entities. Now the...
