Title: Introduction to Code-based Post-Quantum Cryptography
Abstract: Being able to communicate in a safe way has been essential in political, diplomatic, economic and military affairs. Nowadays, when the information is digital, cryptology plays an even more important role. In this talk I will give a brief introduction to cryptology, from the classical to the post-quantum one, and I will focus on code-based cryptography.
Title: Where can toric syzygies live?
Abstract: In this talk I will give an introduction to syzygies and will discuss some open questions on them. I will then talk about the toric case, where defining equations and higher syzygies have a natural grading by the character lattice of the torus, and give some results on the the regions in the character lattice in which these equations and syzygies can be supported.
Title: Geometry and topology of data
Abstract: Last few years are often refereed to as data revolution; a time when ability to produce and process vast amounts of data called for new scalable algorithms to analyze them. As a consequence, many at hoc solutions that lack theoretical guarantees have been introduced. In this talk I will introduce a few basic methods of geometry and topology - computable, stable and provably general tools that can be applied to analyze data and have the potential to become key tools in explainable machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Title: Symmetric edge polytopes and their applications
Abstract: Symmetric edge polytopes are certain polytopes defined from the data of a finite simple graph. These objects have several pleasant combinatorial properties and connections to other branches of mathematics (for instance, the theory of finite metric spaces) and physics. In the present talk I will focus on a link to the Kuramoto synchronization model in physics, which was developed in the 1970s to describe the behaviour of oscillators (think of metronomes, fireflies...) influencing each other. This is joint ongoing work with E. Delucchi and M. Michałek.
