• Going to the other side …. in algebra, topology, and maybe physics

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

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Speaker: Sergei Gukov (Caltech) Title: Going to the other side .... in algebra, topology, and maybe physics Abstract: Inspired by Eugene Wigner's reflections on the 'unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences,' this talk is about the surprising and pervasive role of a peculiar phenomenon that, a priori, […]

  • Witten deformation for non-Morse functions and gluing formulas 

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

    Mathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry Speaker: Junrong Yan (Northeastern University) Title: Witten deformation for non-Morse functions and gluing formulas Abstract: Witten deformation is a versatile tool with numerous applications in mathematical physics and geometry. In this talk, we will focus on the analysis of Witten deformation for a family of non-Morse functions, which leads to […]

  • Infinite Limits and Scaling Laws for Deep Neural Networks

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

    https://youtu.be/0998FJhPdj8 New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Blake Bordelon Title: Infinite Limits and Scaling Laws for Deep Neural Networks Abstract: Scaling up the size and training horizon of deep learning models has enabled breakthroughs in computer vision and natural language processing. Empirical evidence suggests that these neural network models are described by regular scaling laws where performance of […]

  • New Energy Inequality in AdS

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

    General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Diandian Wang, Harvard University Title: New Energy Inequality in AdS Abstract: I will describe evidence for a new energy inequality in asymptotically AdS spacetimes whose conformal boundary contains a spatial circle. It is in some sense analogous but crucially different to the Penrose inequality. In the AdS4 case, this generalizes the […]
