Abstract: Consider a bootstrap percolation process that starts with a set of `infected’ triangles $Y \subseteq \binom{}3$, and a new triangle f gets infected if there is a copy of […]
Abstract: Although everyone talks about AI + healthcare, many people were unaware of the fact that there are two possible outcomes of the collaboration, due to the inherent dissimilarity between the […]
On May 6–8, 2022, the CMSA hosted a second NSF FRG Workshop. This project brings together a community of researchers who develop theoretical and computational models to characterize shapes. Their […]
On May 9–12, 2022, the CMSA hosted the conference Deformations of structures and moduli in geometry and analysis: A Memorial in honor of Professor Masatake Kuranishi. Organizers: Tristan Collins (MIT) and […]
Abstract: I will explore the interplay between Swampland conjectures and models of inflation and light Dark Matter. To that end, I will briefly review the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) and the related […]

Abstract: Many statistical and computational tasks boil down to comparing probability measures expressed as density functions, clouds of data points, or generative models. In this setting, we often are unable to […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Juven Wang Title: Cobordism and Deformation Class of the Standard Model and Beyond: Proton Stability and Neutrino Mass Abstract: ‘t Hooft anomalies of quantum field theories (QFTs) with […]
SMaSH: Symposium for Mathematical Sciences at Harvard On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, from 9:00 am – 5:30 pm, the Harvard John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) […]
Abstract: In 1973, Erdős conjectured the existence of high girth (n,3,2)-Steiner systems. Recently, Glock, Kühn, Lo, and Osthus and independently Bohman and Warnke proved the approximate version of Erdős’ conjecture. Just […]
