The talk will consider the following question: when is a given map of a surface to a 4-manifold homotopic to an embedding? Arunima Ray will give a survey of related results, including the celebrated work of Freedman and Quinn, and culminating in a general surface
Mean field games are infinite population idealizations of Nash equilibrium problems in symmetric, finite population games in the microscopic regime. They present enormous advantages, and their study has given rise to an imporant literature over the past decade with striking applications. Coming from AIMS South Africa,
Im Rahmen der Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften am 2. Juli 2022 laden wir Teamplayer, Rätselbegeisterte und Wissenschaftsfans zum MATH+ Science Pub Quiz an die TU Berlin ein.
Im Rahmen der Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften stellen sich die sieben Berliner Exzellenzcluster am 2. Juli 2022 im Humboldt Labor vor. Für MATH+ geben Dr. Felix Günther und Nina Smeenk Einblicke in die Schönheit der Mathematik.
Dinur will talk about the PCP theorem and its many applications, and end by touching upon a surprising recent connection between PCPs and the so-called high-dimensional expanders, which are objects that come from pure math. The talk is also part of the Millennium Festival: https://die-7-grossten-abenteuer-der-mathematik.webflow.io
After too long a break, we invite you to celebrate Math with the MATH+ community. As part of the German-wide event series "The 7 Greatest Mathematical Adventures", we present a diverse program of talks and activities around the famous Millennium Prize Problem “P versus NP”.
In this talk, Christoph Reisinger will review recent theoretical and computational advances in the simulation and control of large interacting particle systems in classical and non-classical settings. Christoph Reisinger is Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Oxford.
McCormick will define submodularity and survey some of its applications in a variety of areas, and eventually outline what advantages it brings to the associated optimization problems. S. Thomas McCormick is the W.J. Van Dusen Professor of Management at the Sauder School of Business at
In this lecture, Viazovska will show that the E8 and Leech lattices minimize energy for a wide class of potential functions. This theorem implies recently proven optimality of E8 and Leech lattices as sphere packings and broadly generalizes it to long-range interactions. Maryna Viazovska obtained
In this talk, Max von Kleist will present approaches that utilize primary and secondary data of SARS-CoV-2 that allow to permanently monitor and assess the pandemic and that can support the choice of containment strategies. Max von Kleist currently heads the “Project Group 5: Systems
