This talk will […]
Speaker: Linhao Li (ISSP, U Tokyo) Title: Boundary conditions and LSM anomalies of conformal field theories in 1+1 dimensions Abstract: In this talk, we will study a relationship between conformally […]
Abstract: Conditional independence (CI) is an important tool instatistical modeling, as, for example, it gives a statistical interpretation to graphical models. In general, given a list of dependencies among random variables, […]
The Math Department and Harvard’s Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (CMSA) will be running a math program/course for mathematically minded undergraduates this summer. The course will be run by Dr. […]
Speaker: Seth Koren (University of Chicago) Title: Baryon Minus Lepton Number BF Theory for the Cosmological Lithium Problem Abstract: The cosmological lithium problem—that the observed primordial abundance is lower than […]
Abstract: In spatial population genetics, it is important to understand the probability of extinction in multi-species interactions such as growing bacterial colonies, cancer tumor evolution and human migration. This is because […]
Abstract: The recent success of neural networks enables a better interpretation of 3D point clouds, but processing a large-scale 3D scene remains a challenging problem. Most current approaches divide a large-scale […]
