• Global Existence and Scattering for Einstein’s equations and related equations satisfying the weak null condition

    Speaker: Hans Lindblad (Johns Hopkins University) Title:  Global Existence and Scattering for Einstein's equations and related equations satisfying the weak null condition Abstract: Einstein's equations in harmonic or wave coordinates are a system of nonlinear wave equations for a Lorentzian metric, that in addition satisfy the preserved wave coordinate condition. Christodoulou-Klainerman proved global existence for Einstein vacuum equations for […]

  • Monogamy of entanglement and convex geometry

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Speaker: Aram Harrow (MIT) Title: Monogamy of entanglement and convex geometry Abstract: The SoS (sum of squares) hierarchy is a flexible algorithm that can be used to optimize polynomials and to test whether a quantum state is entangled or separable.  (Remarkably, these two problems are nearly isomorphic.)  These questions lie at the boundary of P, NP and the unique games […]
