UW-PIMS MathematicsColloquium:Eyal Lubetzky
The Ising model, one of the most studied models in mathematical physics, was introduced in 1925 to model ferromagnetism. Over the last three decades, significant effort has been dedicated to the analysis of stochastic dynamical systems that both...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Rekha Thomas
Polynomial optimization concerns minimizing a polynomial subject to polynomial equations and inequalities. While this is a natural model for many applications, there are many difficulties (usually numerical and algorithmic) that have prevented their...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Hariharan Narayanan
Increasingly, we are confronted with very high dimensional data sets. As a result, methods of avoiding the curse of dimensionality have come to the forefront of machine learning research. One approach, which relies on exploiting the geometry of the...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Bela Bollobas
In this talk I shall sketch some results Oliver Riordan of Oxford and I have obtained on critical probabilities in percolation. Recently, Scullard and Ziff noticed that a broad class of planar percolation models are self-dual under a simple condition...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Richard Stanley
An alternating permutation w=a1⋯an of 1,2,…,n is a permutation such that ai>ai+1 if and only if i is odd. If En (called an Euler number) denotes the number of alternating permutations of 1,2,…,n, then ∑n≥0Enxnn!=secx+tanx. We will discuss such topics...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Joel Spencer (Courant/NYU)
Erdös Magic, aka The Probabilistic Method, is a powerful tool for proving the existence of a combinatorial object, such as a coloring. A probability space is created for which the probability of success is positive. Hence the desired object must...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Greg Galloway
There is a widely held belief in physics that a true astrophysical black hole, formed from the gravitational collapse of some stellar object, can be described by a certain exact solution to the Einstein equations discovered by Kerr in the 60s. This...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Christopher Hacon
Abstract In this talk we will discuss issues related to the existence of a moduli space for varieties of general type. Recall that varieties of general type are the higher dimensional analog of Riemann surfaces of genus at least 2. We will explain...

UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Bruce Reznick
Abstract: Polynomial identities can reflect deeper mathematical phenomena. In this talk, I will discuss some of the stories behind four identities (and their relatives). The stories involve algebra, analysis, number theory, combinatorics, geometry...
Scientific, Summer School
Summer School and Conference in Cohomology and Support in Representation Theory and Related Topics
Summer School July 27th - 30th: The summer school will provide an opportunity for graduate students and recent PhDs to learn about several areas of active research lying at the intersection of representation theory, commutative algebra and algebraic...
