Faber-Tietz forms and series on Riemann surfaces
* Today * Tuesday 10 December 2024, 10:15, M3 (M234)
Faber polynomials are polynomials associated to a conformal map onto a planar domain. It is classical that one can approximate holomorphic functions on the complement of this domain by series of Faber polynomials, and there is a well-developed theory of Faber series in various analytic settings. Results on approximation in the Bergman space norm by Faber series are surprisingly recent and hold precisely for quasicircles. Based on work of H. Tietz, we generalize Faber polynomials and Faber series to compact Riemann surfaces with conformal maps onto quasidisks, and show that one-forms on the complement have a convergent Faber-Tietz series in $L^2$. Joint work with M. Shirazi.

Lattice theta series extrema problems: The Regev conjectures
* Wednesday 11 December 2024, 16:15, M3 (M234)
After a recent talk on the extrema of the lattice theta series and its strong connections to error-correcting codes and cryptography, we will dive a bit deeper into the mathematical side of this problem. More specifically, we will discuss the Regev and Stephens-Davidowitz conjectures, which state that the integer lattice maximises the theta series among stable lattices and integral lattices. We will present the main ideas behind two papers of the above authors, motivate how their conjectures arose and connect them to other areas of interest in lattice theory.

Seminar course (7.-17.1.): An introduction to Dirichlet's L-functions and a proof of Dirichlet's theorem of primes in arithmetic progressions
Tuesday 07 January 2025, 10:15, M3 (M234)
We will begin this course (MS-EV0030) by reviewing Euler's change of paradigm, with respect to Euclid, and his proof on infinitude of primes. Then, we will study the generalization made by Dirichlet, and will prove Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progression. Through the course we will learn about the development of L-functions, character theory and the beginning of the relation between Galois representations and certain complex functions.
There will be 5 sessions during 2 weeks. For students interested in credits: attendance gives 2 cr and more can be obtained (upon request) by completing further assignments. Sessions take place on Tue, Thu on the first week and Mon, Wed, Fri the second week, all at 10:15-12.

On the usage of joint diagonalization in multivariate statistics
Monday 20 January 2025, 14:15, Y313
Scatter matrices generalize the covariance matrix and are useful in many multivariate data analysis methods, including principal component analysis, which is usually based on the diagonalization of the covariance matrix. The simultaneous diagonalization of two or more scatter matrices goes beyond PCA and is used more and more often. In this talk, we offer an overview of many methods that are based on joint diagonalization. These methods range from the unsupervised context with invariant coordinate selection and blind source separation, which includes independent component analysis, to the supervised context with linear discriminant analysis and sliced inverse regression. They also encompass methods that handle dependent data such as time series or spatial data.

Unsupervised linear discrimination using skewness
Wednesday 12 February 2025, 10:15, M237
It is known that, in Gaussian two-group separation, the optimally discriminating projection direction can be estimated without any knowledge on the group labels. In this presentation, we (a) motivate this estimation problem, and (b) gather several unsupervised estimators based on skewness and derive their limiting distributions. As one of our main results, we show that all affine equivariant estimators of the optimal direction have proportional asymptotic covariance matrices, making their comparison straightforward. We use simulations to verify our results and to inspect the finite-sample behaviors of the estimators.
