Geometry of Matroid Workshop

Geometry of Delta-Matroids
Matt W Larson
2:30pm|Simonyi 101

Abstract: Delta-matroids are "type B" or "type C" analogues of matroids. I will discuss how to extend a geometric construction related to matroids to delta-matroids. Using this construction, we prove the ultra log-concavity of the number of...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Decay for the Klein-Gordon Equation on the Schwarzschild Black Hole
Yakov Shlapentokh-Rothman
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: We will start with a review of previous results concerning  instabilities of rotating Kerr black holes to massive scalar field perturbations. These instabilities are connected to superradiance and hence do not occur on the Schwarzschild...

Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Algebraic Torsion of Concave Boundaries of Linear Plumbings
Joanna Nelson
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Algebraic torsion is a means of understanding the topological complexity of certain homomorphic curves counted in some Floer theories of contact manifolds.  This talk focuses on algebraic torsion and the contact invariant in embedded contact...
