Generalizing this, Bayer-Macr\u00ec-Toda proposed to use a conjectural ch_3 inequality for tilt stable objects to construct stability conditions on threefolds. This inequality found many applications ranging from counting invariants to linear series, but people were only able to prove it in special cases.\n\nThe recent breakthrough of Chunyi Li provides a different route to construct stability conditions over any projective variety. In my talk, I will recall this beautiful idea, and explain that, via an enhancement of Li\u2019s construction together with some reverse-engineering, we can produce a series of inequalities on any Chern characters for suitable objects on any variety, with Bogomolov-Gieseker and Bayer-Macr\u00ec-Toda as the first two instances. This is based on joint work in progress with Chunyi Li, Zhiyu Liu and Benjamin Sung.\n\nIf time permits, I will also discuss a strengthen of this result for ch_3 inequality using Frobenius method, based on joint work with Chunyi Li, Zhiyu Liu and Alex Perry.

A fundamental question is to understand the complexity of their behavior under small perturbations of the input. On the Boolean cube, this is captured by notions such as sensitivity, average sensitivity, and Boolean surface area. In this talk, we revisit a recursive approach used to derive bounds for the average sensitivity and Boolean surface area of PTFs and obtain a polylogarithmic bound for small moments of their sensitivity. We will also explore the interplay between Fourier expansion and induction on scales from harmonic analysis, random averaging from probability, and decision trees and regularization from combinatorics.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"153329-21915644@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153329", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"4088", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics"], "website":"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/probsemumich\/future-talks", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Probability and Analysis Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"5203", "website":"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/probsemumich\/future-talks" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21915644 } }
