*********************************** * Princeton Discrete Math Seminar * *********************************** Speaker: Yufei Zhao, MIT Thursday 17th October, 3:00 in Fine Hall 224. Title: Equiangular lines with a fixed angle Solving a longstanding problem on equiangular lines, we determine, for each given fixed angle and in all sufficiently large dimensions, the maximum number of lines pairwise separated by the given angle. A key ingredient is a new result in spectral graph theory: the adjacency matrix of a connected bounded degree graph has sublinear second eigenvalue multiplicity. Joint work with: Zilin Jiang, Jonathan Tidor, Yuan Yao, and Shengtong Zhang ---------------------------------- Next week: Alex Scott Anyone wishing to be added to or removed from this mailing list should contact Paul Seymour (pds@math.princeton.edu)
