• Online Special seminar: The Day after COVID-19 Lockdown May 12, 15:10—16:00, 2020.

  Speaker: Shai Shalev-Shwartz (CS- HUJI)

  Title: The Day after COVID-19 Lockdown

  Abstract: Given the latest statistics, we predict that with a proper differential social distancing placing different guidelines on the low-risk group compared to the high-risk group one could maintain a working economy without quarantine and save a factor of 5 on mortality while not flooding the health system. The talk will highlight some of the computational tools used to reach these conclusions.

  Based on joint work with Amnon Shashua

  Title: near actions

  Abstract A near permutation of a set $X$ is a permutations ”up to finite subset“. It can be formally defined as the germ at infinity of a homeomorphism of the one-point compactification of $X$. A near action of a group is a homomorphism into the group of near permutations of a set. We notably study realizability of near actions, namely understanding obstructions to being induced by a genuine action. These concepts can be applied to the study of the class $(M)$ of maximal abelian subgroups of $S_\omega/fin$, where $S_\omega$ is the group of permutations of the countable set $\omega$ and $fin$ is its normal subgroup of finitely supported permutations. Uncountable groups in the class $(M)$ have been studied by Shelah and Steprans (2007). We characterize countable abelian groups that occur in the class $(M)$.

• Department picnic Oct 20, 11:00—16:00, 2019, Amphitheater, Ashkelon National Park.

  

  You are cordially invited to a “beginning-of-the-year” informal picnic/potluck for the math department.
  We will meet in the Amphitheater in Ashkelon National Park on Sunday, October 20th, 2019, at 11:00, take a walk and have a picnic.

  A potluck is a party or a picnic where each guest brings some food to share with the others. It is recommended that every family with $N$ members brings a dish (choice of dish entirely up to you), which should be enough for at least $(N+4)$ people.

  If you are interested in attending, please register here.

  Here is some information about the park.

  Remark: one needs to buy a ticket at the entrance to enter the park (the prices appear in the website above).

  Title: Stability of Gauss valuations

  Abstract:

  A valued field $(k,|.|)$ is said to be stable (this terminology has no link with model-theoretic stability theory) if every finite extension $L$ of $k$ is defectless, i.e., satisfies the equality $\sum e_vf_v=[L:k]$, where $v$ goes through the set of extensions of $|.|$ to $L$, and where $e_v$ and $f_v$ are the ramification and inertia indexes of $v$. The purpose of my talk is to present a new proof (which is part of current joint reflexions with E. Hrushovski and F. Loeser) of the following classical fact (Grauert, Kuhlmann, Temkin,…) : let $(k,|.|)$ be a stable valued field, and let $(r_1,\dots,r_n)$ be elements of an ordered abelian group $G$ containing $|k^*|$. Let $|.|‘$ be the $G$-valued valuation on $k(T_1,\dots,T_n)$ that sends $\sum a_I T^I$ to $\max_I |a_I|\cdot r^I$. Then $(k(T_1,\dots,T_n),|.|‘)$ is stable too.

  Our general strategy is purely geometric, but the proof is based upon model-theoretic tools coming from model theory (which I will first present; no knowledge of model theory will be assumed). In particular, it uses in a crucial way a geometric object defined in model-theoretic terms that Hrushovski and Loeser attach to a given $k$-variety $X$, which is called its stable completion; the only case we will have to consider is that of a curve, in which the stable completion has a very nice model-theoretic property, namely the definability, which makes it very easy to work with.
