Fourier quasicrystals and stable polynomials

Harvard Science Center 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA

Probability Seminar Note location change: Science Center Room 300H Speaker: Lior Alon (MIT) Title: Fourier quasicrystals and stable polynomials Abstract: The Poisson summation formula says that the countable sum of exp(int), over all integers n, vanishes as long as t is not an integer multiple of 2 pi. Can we find a non-periodic discrete set A, such […]
