SUMMARY:On the fibration structure of known Calabi-Yau threefolds
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Washington Tayor (MIT) \nTitle: On the fibration structure of known Calabi-Yau threefolds \nAbstract: In recent years\, there is increasing evidence from a variety of directions\, including the physics of F-theory and new generalized CICY constructions\, that a large fraction of known Calabi-Yau manifolds have a genus one or elliptic fibration. In this talk I will describe recent work with Yu-Chien Huang on a systematic analysis of the fibration structure of known toric hypersurface Calabi-Yau threefolds. Among other results\, this analysis shows that every known Calabi-Yau threefold with either Hodge number exceeding 150 is genus one or elliptically fibered\, and suggests that the fraction of Calabi-Yau threefolds that are not genus one or elliptically fibered decreases roughly exponentially with h_{11}. I will also make some comments on the connection with the structure of triple intersection numbers in Calabi-Yau threefolds.

SUMMARY:Graph Structure in Polynomial Systems: Chordal Networks
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Pablo Parillo (MIT) \nTitle: Graph Structure in Polynomial Systems: Chordal Networks \nAbstract: The sparsity structure of a system of polynomial equations or an optimization problem can be naturally described by a graph summarizing the interactions among the decision variables. It is natural to wonder whether the structure of this graph might help in computational algebraic geometry tasks (e.g.\, in solving the system). In this lecture we will provide a gentle introduction to this area\, focused on the key notions of chordality and treewidth\, which are of great importance in related areas such as numerical linear algebra\, database theory\, constraint satisfaction\, and graphical models. In particular\, we will discuss “chordal networks”\, a novel representation of structured polynomial systems that provides a computationally convenient decomposition of a polynomial ideal into simpler (triangular) polynomial sets\, while maintaining its underlying graphical structure. As we will illustrate through examples from different application domains\, algorithms based on chordal networks can significantly outperform existing techniques. Based on joint work with Diego Cifuentes (MIT).

SUMMARY:Workshop on Coding and Information Theory
DESCRIPTION:The workshop on coding and information theory will take place April 9-13\, 2018 at the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications\, located at 20 Garden Street\, Cambridge\, MA. \nThis workshop will focus on new developments in coding and information theory that sit at the intersection of combinatorics and complexity\, and will bring together researchers from several communities — coding theory\, information theory\, combinatorics\, and complexity theory — to exchange ideas and form collaborations to attack these problems. \nSquarely in this intersection of combinatorics and complexity\, locally testable/correctable codes and list-decodable codes both have deep connections to (and in some cases\, direct motivation from) complexity theory and pseudorandomness\, and recent progress in these areas has directly exploited and explored connections to combinatorics and graph theory.  One goal of this workshop is to push ahead on these and other topics that are in the purview of the year-long program.  Another goal is to highlight (a subset of) topics in coding and information theory which are especially ripe for collaboration between these communities.  Examples of such topics include polar codes; new results on Reed-Muller codes and their thresholds; coding for distributed storage and for DNA memories; coding for deletions and synchronization errors; storage capacity of graphs; zero-error information theory; bounds on codes using semidefinite programming; tensorization in distributed source and channel coding; and applications of information-theoretic methods in probability and combinatorics.  All these topics have attracted a great deal of recent interest in the coding and information theory communities\, and have rich connections to combinatorics and complexity which could benefit from further exploration and collaboration. \nParticipation: The workshop is open to participation by all interested researchers\, subject to capacity. \nA list of lodging options convenient to the Center can also be found on our recommended lodgings page. \nConfirmed participants include: \n\nEmmanuel Abbe\, Princeton University\nSimeon Ball\, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya\nBoris Bukh\, Carnegie Mellon University\nMahdi Cheraghchi\, Imperial College London\nSivakanth Gopi\, Princeton University\nElena Grigorescu\, University of Purdue\nHamed Hassani\, University of Pennsylvania\nNavin Kashyap\, Indian Institute of Science\nYoung-Han Kim\, University of California\, San Diego\nSwastik Kopparty\, Rutgers University\nNati Linial\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem\nShachar Lovett\, University of California\, San Diego\nWilliam Martin\, Worcester Polytechnic Institute\nArya Mazumdar\, University of Massachusetts at Amherst\nOr Meir\, University of Haifa\nOlgica Milenkovic\, ECE Illinois\nChandra Nair\, Chinese University of Hong Kong\nYuval Peres\, Microsoft Research\nYury Polyanskiy\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\nMaxim Raginsky\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\nSankeerth Rao Karingula\, UC San Diego\nAnkit Singh Rawat\, MIT\nNoga Ron-Zewi\, University of Haifa\nRon Roth\, Israel Institute of Technology\nAtri Rudra\, State University of New York\, Buffalo\nAlex Samorodnitsky\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem\nItzhak Tamo\, Tel Aviv University\nAmnon Ta-Shma\, Tel Aviv University\nHimanshu Tyagi\, Indian Institute of Science\nDavid Zuckerman\, University of Texas at Austin

SUMMARY:Black Holes and Naked Singularities
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ramesh Narayan\, Department of Astronomy\, Harvard University \nTitle: Black Holes and Naked Singularities \nAbstract: Black Hole solutions in General Relativity contain Event Horizons and Singularities. Astrophysicists have discovered two populations of black hole candidates in the Universe: stellar-mass objects with masses in the range 5 to 30 solar masses\, and supermassive objects with masses in the range million to several billion solar masses. There is considerable evidence that these objects have Event Horizons. It thus appears that astronomical black hole candidates are true Black Holes. Direct evidence for Singularities is much harder to obtain since\, at least in the case of Black Holes\, the Singularities are hidden inside the Event Horizon. However\, General Relativity also permits Naked Singularities which are visible to external observers. Toy Naked Singularity models have been constructed\, and some observational features of accretion flows in these spacetimes have been worked out.

SUMMARY:A Mean Field View of the Landscape of Two-Layers Neural Networks
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrea Montanari (Stanford) \nTitle: A Mean Field View of the Landscape of Two-Layers Neural Networks \nAbstract: Multi-layer neural networks are among the most powerful models in machine learning and yet\, the fundamental reasons for this success defy mathematical understanding. Learning a neural network requires to optimize a highly non-convex and high-dimensional objective (risk function)\, a problem which is usually attacked using stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Does SGD converge to a global optimum of the risk or only to a local optimum? In the first case\, does this happen because local minima are absent\, or because SGD somehow avoids them? In the second\, why do local minima reached by SGD have good generalization properties? We consider a simple case\, namely two-layers neural networks\, and prove that –in a suitable scaling limit– the SGD dynamics is captured by a certain non-linear partial differential equation. We then consider several specific examples\, and show how the asymptotic description can be used to prove convergence of SGD to network with nearly-ideal generalization error. This description allows to ‘average-out’ some of the complexities of the landscape of neural networks\, and can be used to capture some important variants of SGD as well. [Based on joint work with Song Mei and Phan-Minh Nguyen]

SUMMARY:Essential concepts of Causal inference—a remarkable history
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Don Rubin (Harvard Statistics) \nTitle: Essential concepts of Causal inference—a remarkable history \nAbstract: I believe that a deep understanding of cause and effect\, and how to estimate causal effects from data\, complete with the associated mathematical notation and expressions\, only evolved in the twentieth century.  The crucial idea of randomized experiments was apparently first proposed in 1925 in the context of agricultural field trails but quickly moved to be applied also in studies of animal breeding and then in industrial manufacturing.  The conceptual understanding seemed to be tied to ideas that were developing in quantum mechanics.  The key ideas of randomized experiments evidently were not applied to studies of human beings until the 1950s\, when such experiments began to be used in controlled medical trials\, and then in social science — in education and economics.  Humans are more complex than plants and animals\, however\, and with such trials came the attendant complexities of non-compliance with assigned treatment and the occurrence of “hawthorne” and placebo effects.  The formal application of the insights from earlier simpler experimental settings to more complex ones dealing with people\, started in the 1970s and continue to this day\, and include the bridging of classical mathematical ideas of experimentation\, including fractional replication and geometrical formulations from the early twentieth century\, with modern ideas that rely on powerful computing to implement aspects of design and analysis. \n
