Description

Title : Universality in Eigenvalue/Vector Distributions of Random Tensors

Speaker : Naoki Sasakura, Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University

Abstract : Eigenvalues/vectors of tensors are a modern concept extending those of matrices. They appear in various non-linear contexts, such as spin glasses, general relativity, artificial intelligence, quantum information theory, string theory, and so on, while the matrix counterpart in linear-contexts. Understanding universal properties across various tensor eigen problems is important, since this assures their wide applicability. I talk about our recent finding of a universality of tensor eigenvalue/vector distributions, which has been achieved by systematically computing them using quantum field theoretical techniques.

Profile : Naoki Sasakura obtained his PhD in Physics at Kyoto University. He subsequently held research at University of Tokyo, KEK, Tohoku University, and Niels Bohr Institute (Denmark). In 1997, he joined Department of Physics of Kyoto University, and moved to Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics of Kyoto University in 2000. His main interest is discretized approaches to quantum gravity/spacetime emergence, with particular interests in tensor models, while he also worked on supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. He currently mainly focuses on research on eigenvalue/vector distributions of random tensors by using quantum field theoretical techniques.

Language : English

Target audience : General audience/everyone at OIST and beyond. Freely accessible to all OIST members and guests without registration.

Join OIST Innovation’s commercialization training program designed to help students, researchers, and administrators explore how research can move from lab to market. Through monthly, hands-on sessions from July to March, participants will learn the fundamentals of commercialization, customer discovery, business strategy, and pitching while developing their own innovation ideas.

In collaboration with leading venture capital firms, OIST Innovation offers startups and entrepreneurial researchers or students the opportunity to connect directly with venture capitalists for one-on-one mentoring and discussion. Each round begins with an open seminar-style introduction, where participants can learn about the VC firm's investment focus and characteristics. This is followed by private, closed-door mentoring sessions between startups/researchers/students and the VC representatives.

The featured VC for this round is HERO IMPACT CAPITAL .

TSVP Talk Language: English (no interpretation). Target audience: General audience / everyone at OIST and beyond. Freely accessible to all OIST members and guests without registration (also via Zoom).

This workshop offers hands-on microscope activities with OIST geologist Mirona Chirienco, exploring the rocks and minerals found in Okinawa.

Speaker: Dr.Liangbing Luo,Queen’s University Title: Discrete Approximation on Metric Measure Spaces of Controlled Geometry via Graphs: Dirichlet Forms and Harmonic Functions Abstract:

Based on the approximation of a metric measure space via discrete graphs, we construct a Dirichlet form. This Dirichlet form is comparable to the upper gradient energy and can be realized as a -limit of a sequence of induced bilinear forms projected from the discrete energy form on the approximating graphs. Moreover, we approximate harmonic functions on a bounded domain with a prescribed Newton-Sobolev boundary data. Based on joint work with A. Butaev and N. Shanmugalingam.
