Virtual

https://youtu.be/yPOy4OoXJX0 CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture Prof. Amie Wilkinson gave a lecture in the CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture Series. Date: Wednesday, February 7, 2024 Time: 9:00–10:30 am ET Title: Stretching and shrinking: 85 years of the Hopf argument for ergodicity Abstract:  The early 20th century witnessed an explosion of activity, much of it centered at Harvard, […]

AQFT Lecture Series | Minhyong Kim

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

Arithmetic Quantum Field Theory Program Lecture Series Speaker: Minhyong Kim, University of Edinburgh Topic: Arithmetic topology and field theory Abstract: The setup of arithmetic topology as a bridge between the background of QFT to that of arithmetic (both “global” and “local”), including the “middle realm” of positive characteristic function fields.

Large language models, mathematical discovery, and search in the space of strategies: an anecdote

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

https://youtu.be/SPfLEZ-Ghio New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Jordan Ellenberg (UW Madison) Title: Large language models, mathematical discovery, and search in the space of strategies: an anecdote Abstract: 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 […]

AQFT Lecture Series | Brian Williams

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

Arithmetic Quantum Field Theory Program Lecture Series Speaker: Brian Williams, Boston University Topic: Algebraic quantum field theory Abstract: Questions and structures in arithmetic that have been / might be amenable to inspiration from QFT, in particular the theory of L-functions and the Langlands program.

On (semi)stable reduction and KSBA moduli in positive characteristic

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

Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar Speaker: Iacopo Brivio (Harvard CMSA) Title: On (semi)stable reduction and KSBA moduli in positive characteristic Abstract: The moduli space M_g of genus g stable curves is perhaps the most studied of all algebraic varieties. Its higher-dimensional generalization is the moduli functor M_{n,v} of n-dimension stable varieties of volume v. It […]

AQFT Lecture Series | David Ben-Zvi

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

Arithmetic Quantum Field Theory Program Lecture Series Speaker: David Ben-Zvi Topic: The Langlands program via arithmetic QFT Abstract: Structures in QFT (like factorization for observables and functorial QFT for states and their relation to geometric / deformation quantization) that are sufficiently algebraic and formal to allow for arithmetic analogs.

Quantum Algorithms to Recognize Phases of Matter and Exactly Solvable 2D Models with Anomalous Entanglement Entropy

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

Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar Speaker: Soonwon Choi (MIT) Title: Quantum Algorithms to Recognize Phases of Matter and  Exactly Solvable 2D Models with Anomalous Entanglement Entropy Abstract: In this talk, I will report my two recent results at the intersection of quantum information and strongly interacting phases of matters. In the first half […]

The spectrum of some nonlinear random matrices

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

CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Benjamin McKenna (Harvard) Title: The spectrum of some nonlinear random matrices Abstract: 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 […]
