[CANCELLED] Richard P. Stanley Seminar in Combinatorics: Alexander Polyanskii (Emory University) [CANCELLED]

Building 2, Room 139

[Due to unforeseen circumstances, this seminar talk has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule the speaker in the fall.]Speaker: Alexander Polyanskii (Emory University) [Cancelled]Title: Polynomial Plank ProblemsAbstract: I will discuss the following result and its complex analog: For every nonzero polynomial P∈ R[x_1,..., x_n] of degree n, there is a point of the unit ball in R^d at distance at least 1/n from the zero set of the polynomial P.Joint work with Alexey Glazyrin and Roman Karasev.
