Mean value theorems for collections of lattices with a prescribed group of symmetries

Nihar Prakash Gargava

Euclidean lattices are mathematical objects of increasing interest in the fields of cryptography and error-correcting codes. This doctoral thesis is a study on high-dimensional lattices with the motivation to understand how efficient they are in terms of b ...

Unlikely intersections on the p-adic formal ball

Vlad Serban

We investigate generalizations along the lines of the Mordell-Lang conjecture of the author's p-adic formal Manin-Mumford results for n-dimensional p-divisible formal groups F. In particular, given a finitely generated subgroup (sic) of F(Q(p)) and a close ...

The Role of Adaptivity in Source Identification with Time Queries

Gergely Odor

Understanding epidemic propagation in large networks is an important but challenging task, especially since we usually lack information, and the information that we have is often counter-intuitive. An illustrative example is the dependence of the final siz ...

Switchover phenomenon induced by epidemic seeding on geometric networks

Gergely Odor

It is a fundamental question in disease modeling how the initial seeding of an epidemic, spreading over a network, determines its final outcome. One important goal has been to find the seed configuration, which infects the most individuals. Although the id ...

Almost impossible E_8 and Leech lattices

Maryna Viazovska

We start this short note by introducing two remarkable mathematical objects: the E8E8 root lattice Lambda8Lambda8 in 8-dimensional Euclidean space and the Leech lattice Lambda24Lambda24 in 24-dimensional space. These two lattices stand out among their lat ...

On Linear Optimization over Wasserstein Balls

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

Wasserstein balls, which contain all probability measures within a pre-specified Wasserstein distance to a reference measure, have recently enjoyed wide popularity in the distributionally robust optimization and machine learning communities to formulate an ...

Asymptotically Optimal Contextual Bandit Algorithm Using Hierarchical Structures

Hakan Gökcesu, Kaan Gökcesu

We propose an online algorithm for sequential learning in the contextual multiarmed bandit setting. Our approach is to partition the context space and, then, optimally combine all of the possible mappings between the partition regions and the set of bandit ...

Optimal Stimulation Protocol in a Bistable Synaptic Consolidation Model

Wulfram Gerstner, Samuel Pavio Muscinelli, Chiara Gastaldi

Synaptic changes induced by neural activity need to be consolidated to maintain memory over a timescale of hours. In experiments, synaptic consolidation can be induced by repeating a stimulation protocol several times and the effectiveness of consolidation ...

In the last years, it has become apparent that detecting disruptions with sufficient anticipation time is an essential but not exclusive task of predictors. It is also important that the prediction is accompanied by appropriate qualifications of its reliab ...

The Unfolding Argument: Why Recurrent Processing Cannot Explain Consciousness

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

Neuroscientific theories aim to explain paradigm cases of consciousness such as masking, binocular rivalry or the transition from dreamless sleep to wakefulness. The most popular theories are based on computational principles. Recurrent processing is a key ...
