Thesis Defense - Yuan Yao
MIT hosts a thesis defense by Yuan Yao on the combinatorics of triangulations of products of two simplices. The talk explores the rich combinatorial structure of these triangulations and their links to polyhedral geometry, tropical geometry, topology, algebraic geometry, and matroid theory. Aimed at students and researchers in combinatorics and geometry.
Thesis Defense - Kai Zhe Zheng
Thesis defense by Kai Zhe Zheng on Probabilistically Checkable Proofs and Applications. The talk surveys how PCPs enable verification by reading only a few locations and discusses connections to hardness of approximation, coding theory, and cryptography. Held on MIT's campus in Building 2, room 2-449 (Boston).
Thesis Defense - Ilya Dumanskiy
Ilya Dumanskiy defends his thesis on Perverse coherent sheaves in representation theory, exploring coherent Satake, geometric Langlands duality, and the new challenges of the coherent setting. The talk highlights core ideas and methods behind the work and invites the mathematics community to MIT's Building 2, 2-449 in Boston.
