High-dimensional Statistics and Approximate Message Passing AlgorithmsSpeaker:Cindy Rush (Columbia University)Time:Fri. & Thur., 2:30-5:30 pm,May 15 & May 21, 2026Venue:B541, Shuangqing Complex Building ADescription:In these lectures, we will introduce the notion of high-dimensional statistics where one wishes to perform statistical prediction or inference in settings where the sample size o...
Abstract These lectures will explore connections between (generalized) q-Schur algebras and the quantized enveloping algebra Uq(g) associated with a simple Lie algebra g. These connections are facilitated by a certain completion of Lusztig’s modified form of Uq(g). Although the q-Schur algebras arose initially as quotients of Uq(g) it is possible to reverse history and use them as a tool to re...
