Enumerative geometry and modularity in two-modulus K3-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds

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

Mathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry Seminar Speaker: Chuck Doran, Harvard CMSA Title: Enumerative geometry and modularity in two-modulus K3-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds Abstract: Smooth $M_m$-polarized K3-fibered Calabi-Yau (CY) 3-folds have been classified in terms of the choice of a generalized functional invariant and, in the case $m=1$, a generalized homological invariant. The resulting geometries generally exhibit […]

Holography and Regge Phases at Large U(1) Charge

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

Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Giulia Fardelli, Boston University Title: Holography and Regge Phases at Large U(1) Charge Abstract: A single Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can have a rich phase diagram with qualitatively different emergent behaviors in a range of different regimes parameterized by the conserved charges of the theory. In this […]

High-dimensional learning of narrow neural networks

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

Member Seminar Speaker: Hugo Cui, CMSA Title: High-dimensional learning of narrow neural networks Abstract: This talk explores the interplay between neural network architectures and data structure through the lens of high-dimensional asymptotics. We focus on a class of narrow neural networks, namely networks possessing a finite number of hidden units, while operating in high dimensions. In the […]

Local complexity measures in modern parameterized function classes for supervised learning

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

Colloquium Speaker: Elisenda Grigsby, Boston College Title: Local complexity measures in modern parameterized function classes for supervised learning Abstract: The parameter space for any fixed architecture of neural networks serves as a proxy during training for the associated class of functions - but how faithful is this representation? For any fixed feedforward ReLU network architecture, it […]

Continuation of solutions of Einstein’s equations

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

General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Oswaldo Vazquez, Northeastern University Title: Continuation of solutions of Einstein's equations Abstract: Klainerman-Rodnianski improved the continuation criterion for the solutions of Einstein's equations proved by Michael Anderson using Kirchoff-Sobolev type parametrix and geometric Littlewood-Paley theory. Using their technique but a new parametrix we prove a continuation condition in the context of […]

Skein traces and curve counting

Science Center Hall E 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Sunghyuk Park, Harvard CMSA Title: Skein traces and curve counting Abstract: Skein modules are vector space-valued invariants of 3-manifolds describing the space of line defects modulo skein relations (determined by a choice of a ribbon category). When the 3-manifold is S x I for some surface S, the skein […]
