SUMMARY:On complete Calabi-Yau metrics and Monge-Ampere equations
DESCRIPTION:CMSA Member Seminar \nSpeaker: Freid Tong (Harvard CMSA) \nTitle: On complete Calabi-Yau metrics and Monge-Ampere equations \nAbstract: Calabi-Yau metrics are central objects in K\”ahler geometry and also string theory. The existence of Calabi-Yau metrics on compact manifolds was answered by Yau in his solution of the Calabi conjecture\, but the situation in the non-compact setting is much more delicate\, and many questions related to the existence and uniqueness of non-compact Calabi-Yau metrics remain unanswered. I will give an introduction to this subject and discuss some ongoing joint work with T. Collins and S.-T. Yau\, on a new relationship between complete Calabi-Yau metrics and a new Monge-Ampere equation.

SUMMARY:Large language models\, mathematical discovery\, and search in the space of strategies: an anecdote
DESCRIPTION:New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar \nSpeaker: Jordan Ellenberg (UW Madison) \nTitle: Large language models\, mathematical discovery\, and search in the space of strategies: an anecdote \nAbstract: I spent a portion of 2023 working with a team at DeepMind on the “cap set problem” – how large can a subset of (Z/3Z)^n be which contains no three terms which sum to zero? (I will explain\, for those not familiar with this problem\, something about the role it plays in combinatorics\, its history\, and why number theorists care about it a lot.) By now\, there are many examples of machine learning mechanisms being used to help generate interesting mathematical knowledge\, and especially interesting examples. This project used a novel protocol; instead of searching directly for large cap sets\, we used LLMs trained on code to search the space of short programs for those which\, when executed\, output large cap sets. One advantage is that a program is much more human-readable than a large collection of vectors over Z/3Z\, bringing us closer to the not-very-well-defined-but-important goal of “interpretable machine learning.” I’ll talk about what succeeded in this project (more than I expected!) what didn’t\, and what role I can imagine this approach to the math-ML interface playing in near-future mathematical practice. \nThe paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06924-6 \n

SUMMARY:The spectrum of some nonlinear random matrices
DESCRIPTION:CMSA Member Seminar \nSpeaker: Benjamin McKenna (Harvard) \nTitle: The spectrum of some nonlinear random matrices \nAbstract: Modern data science often requires one to consider “nonlinear random matrices\,” a broad term for random-matrix models whose construction involves a nonlinear function applied entrywise. Such models are typically far from classical random matrix theory\, and in principle entrywise nonlinearities can affect the eigenvalues in a complicated way. However\, recent years have seen a number of results on nonlinear models whose spectrum is surprisingly simple. We give one such result\, emphasizing general random-matrix techniques like free probability and orthogonal polynomials. Joint work with Sofiia Dubova\, Yue M. Lu\, and Horng-Tzer Yau.

SUMMARY:Machine Learning and Scientific Computing: There is plenty of room in the middle
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium \nSpeaker: Petros Koumoutsakos\, Harvard SEAS \nTitle: Machine Learning and Scientific Computing: There is plenty of room in the middle \nAbstract: Over the last thirty years we have experienced more than a billion-fold increase in hardware capabilities and a dizzying pace of acquiring and transmitting massive amounts of data. Scientific Computing and\, more lately\, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been key beneficiaries of these advances. In this talk I would outline the need for bridging the decades long advances in Scientific Computing with those of AI. I will use examples from fluid mechanics to argue for forming alloys of AI and simulations for their prediction and control. I will present novel algorithms for learning the Effective Dynamics (LED) of complex systems and a fusion of multi- agent reinforcement learning and scientific computing (SciMARL) for modeling and control of turbulent flows. I will also show our recent work on Optimizing a Discrete Loss (ODIL) that outperforms popular techniques such as PINNs by several orders of magnitude. \nI will juxtapose successes and failures and argue that the proper fusion of scientific computing and AI expertise are essential to advance scientific frontiers. \n

SUMMARY:What Algorithms can Transformers Learn? A Study in Length Generalization
DESCRIPTION:New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar \nSpeaker: Preetum Nakkiran\, Apple \nTitle: What Algorithms can Transformers Learn? A Study in Length Generalization \nAbstract: Large language models exhibit many surprising “out-of-distribution” generalization abilities\, yet also struggle to solve certain simple tasks like decimal addition. To clarify the scope of Transformers’ out-of-distribution generalization\, we isolate this behavior in a specific controlled setting: length-generalization on algorithmic tasks. Eg: Can a model trained on 10 digit addition generalize to 50 digit addition? For which tasks do we expect this to work? \nOur key tool is the recently-introduced RASP language (Weiss et al 2021)\, which is a programming language tailor-made for the Transformer’s computational model. We conjecture\, informally\, that: Transformers tend to length-generalize on a task if there exists a short RASP program that solves the task for all input lengths. This simple conjecture remarkably captures most known instances of length generalization on algorithmic tasks\, and can also inform design of effective scratchpads. Finally\, on the theoretical side\, we give a simple separating example between our conjecture and the “min-degree-interpolator” model of learning from Abbe et al. (2023). \nJoint work with Hattie Zhou\, Arwen Bradley\, Etai Littwin\, Noam Razin\, Omid Saremi\, Josh Susskind\, and Samy Bengio. To appear in ICLR 2024. \n

SUMMARY:Quantum Algebra of Chern-Simons Matrix Model and Large N Limit
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar \nSpeaker: Sen Hu (Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Study) \nTitle: Quantum Algebra of Chern-Simons Matrix Model and Large N Limit \nAbstract: In this talk we discuss the algebra of quantum observables of the Chern-Simons matrix model which was originally proposed by Susskind and Polychronakos to describe electrons in fractional quantum Hall effects. We establish the commutation relations for its generators and study the large N limit of its representation. We show that the large N limit algebra is isomorphic to the uniform in N algebra studied by Costello\, which is conjecturally isomorphic to the deformed double current algebra studied by Guay. Under appropriate scaling limit\, we show that the large N limit algebra degenerates to a Lie algebra which admits a surjective map to the affine Lie algebra of u(p). This leads to a complete proof of the large N emergence of the u(p) current algebra as proposed by Dorey\, Tong and Turner. This also suggests a rigorous derivation of edge excitation of a fractional quantum Hall droplet. This is a joint work with Si Li\, Dongheng Ye and Yehao Zhou (arXiv: 2308.14046).

DESCRIPTION:CMSA Member Seminar \nSpeaker: Damian van de Heisteeg (Harvard CMSA) \nTitle: Symmetries and algebraicity in the flux landscape \nAbstract: In this talk I consider potentials coming from fluxes in string theory. The minima of these potentials trace out special loci in the moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds. I discuss the structure that underlies these minima from a Hodge-theoretic point of view. \n

SUMMARY:Computers and mathematics in partial differential equations: New developments and challenges
DESCRIPTION:New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar \nSpeaker: Javier Gomez Serrano\, Brown University \nTitle: Computers and mathematics in partial differential equations: new developments and challenges \nAbstract: In this talk I will address the interaction between traditional and more modern mathematics and how computers have helped over the last decade providing rigorous (computer-assisted) proofs in the context of partial differential equations. I will also describe new exciting future directions in the field. No background is assumed.

SUMMARY:Integrability and Hidden Symmetries in Black Hole Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:CMSA Member Seminar \nSpeaker: Uri Kol (Harvard CMSA) \nTitle: Integrability and Hidden Symmetries in Black Hole Dynamics \nAbstract: The last decade has produced a number of remarkable discoveries\, such as the first direct observation of gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration and the first black hole image taken by the Event Horizon Telescope. These discoveries mark the beginning of a new precision era in black hole physics\, which is expected to develop further by future experiments such as LISA\, the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer. \n  \nIn the era of precision black hole measurements\, there is a need for precision theoretical methods and accurate predictions. In this talk I will describe an integrable sector of the gravitational scattering problem – analogous to the hydrogen atom in quantum mechanics – in which exact predictions can be made\, and the implications for astrophysical black holes and binary mergers.

SUMMARY:Factorization algebras in quite a lot of generality
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium \nSpeaker: Clark Barwick\, University of Edinburgh \nTitle: Factorization algebras in quite a lot of generality \nAbstract: The objects of arithmetic geometry are not manifolds. Some concepts from differential geometry admit analogues in arithmetic\, but they are not straightforward. How then can we hope to make precise sense of quantum field theories on these objects? I will propose the beginnings of a mathematical framework via a general theory of factorization algebras. A new feature is a subtle piece of additional structure on our objects – what I call a world-structure – that is ordinarily left implicit.
