Mathematics Faculty Colloquium - Yangbo Ye
Thursday, May 8, 2025 3:30pm to 4:20pm
Title: Number theory and cryptography
Abstract: In this presentation Professor Ye will survey his work and progress in number theory since his last colloquium talk in the department. Topics include the Riemann zeta function, automorphic L-functions, their functoriality, upper bounds, and zero statistics, computational number theory, and its applications to cyberspace security or insecurity.

Title: A model theorist’s perspective on the Connes Embedding Problem (and its resolution)Abstract: In 2020, a group of computer scientists resolved the Connes Embedding Problem (CEP) from von Neumann algebra theory. In this informal talk, I’ll explain how basic ideas from mathematical logic can be used to simplify and strengthen the resolution of the CEP from the computer science result.Professor Goldbring is giving a colloquium talk, Effective metric structure theory and operator algebras, at...
