ACO The ACO Seminar (2019–2020)

February 20, 3:30pm, Wean 8220
Bhargav Narayanan, Rutgers University
Thresholds

Abstract:

I'll discuss our recent proof of a conjecture of Talagrand, a fractional version of the "expectation-threshold" conjecture of Kahn and Kalai. As a consequence of this result, we resolve various (heretofore) difficult problems in probabilistic combinatorics and statistical physics.

Before the talk, at 3:10pm, there will be tea and cookies in Wean 6220.
