SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium | Nishant Chandgotia | Oct 4th\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nThe dimer model\, also referred to as domino tilings or perfect matching\, are tilings of the Z^d lattice by boxes exactly one of whose sides has length 2 and the rest have length 1. This is a very well-studied statistical physics model in two dimensions with many tools like height functions and Kasteleyn determinant representation coming to its aid. The higher dimensional picture is a little daunting because most of these tools are limited to two dimensions. In this talk I will describe what techniques can be extended to higher dimensions and give a brief account of a large deviations principle for dimer tilings in three dimensions that we prove analogous to the results by Cohn\, Kenyon and Propp (2000).\nThis is joint work with Scott Sheffield and Catherine Wolfram and no prior background is required to understand the talk. \nAbout Speaker:  \nNishant Chandgotia received his PhD from the University of British Columbia and after his postdoctoral fellowship at ICERM\, Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is currently a Reader at TIFR-CAM.

SUMMARY:Scientifically Speaking Season 4\, Session 5 - What makes a great programmer?
DESCRIPTION:What makes a great programmer? How is programming similar to – and different from – other disciplines that require great skill and excellence? Is it an analytical or a creative discipline? This talk presents some philosophical musings on these questions and the practice and profession of programming. It is meant to provoke discussion and reflection and requires very little technical background. \nSpeaker: \nProf Sudheendra Hangal \nVisiting Professor of Computer Science\, https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6116091423015/WN_giJhabzXRDyw9dwWKP9rNACo-Director\, Trivedi Centre for Political Data\, Ashoka University \nPh.D. Stanford University \n
