Short Talks by Postdoctoral Members 2010

I'll describe joint work (in progress) with Ghaith Hiary on implementing and running Hiary's O(t^1/3) algorithm for computing the zeta function and give some highlights of recent computations.

I will introduce some example of models of Statistical Mechanics that are called 'weak-universal' and I will discuss the role of the extended scaling relations for the critical indexes. Finally I will mention some results and some works in progress...

We will explain the equivalences between p-adic Galois representations and various types of $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules.

I will discuss the problem of approximating a given positive semidefinite matrix A , written as a sum of outer products $vv^T$ , by a much shorter weighted sum in the same outer products. I will then mention an application to sparsification of...
