Learning Dynamical Transport without Data

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Michael Albergo (Harvard) Title: Learning Dynamical Transport without Data Abstract: Algorithms based on dynamical transport of measure, such as score-based diffusion models, have resulted in great progress in the field of generative modeling. However, these algorithms rely on access to an abundance of data from the target distribution. A […]

(Strictly) Non-minimal Elliptic Threefolds and the Distance Conjecture

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Mathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry Seminar Speaker: Rafael Álvarez García (Harvard University) Title: (Strictly) Non-minimal Elliptic Threefolds and the Distance Conjecture Abstract: We analyze infinite-distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of six-dimensional F-theory, providing an algebro-geometric classification and a physical interpretation. From the point of view of the Swampland Program, the motivation is to understand the […]

Learning diffusion models in high-dimensions

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Member Seminar Speaker: Hugo Cui Title: Learning diffusion models in high-dimensions Abstract: We consider the problem of learning a generative model parametrized by a two-layer auto-encoder, and trained with online stochastic gradient descent, to sample from a high-dimensional data distribution with an underlying low-dimensional structure. We provide a tight asymptotic characterization of low-dimensional projections of […]

Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Matthew Yu (Oxford) Title: A new tangential structure for type IIA string theory Abstract: The Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation condition says that the target space of heterotic string theory must come with a string structure for the theory to be consistent. In this talk we discuss a new tangential […]

3-d Mirror Symmetry

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Colloquium Speaker: Ben Webster, University of Waterloo & Perimeter Institute Title: 3-d Mirror Symmetry Abstract: I'll give an introduction (or update, for those who've been introduced) to 3d mirror symmetry from the perspective of a mathematician.
