The Department of Mathematics welcomes École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne professor Maryna Viazovska to our annual Simons Lecture Series.

She will give three lectures April 29-May 1

The Sphere Packing Problem
Lecture 1: General overview.
Lecture 2: Random sphere packings with symmetries
Lecture 3: Ideal lattice packings and subconvexity bounds II

Each day, a reception will be held at 4pm in Room 2-290, followed by the 4:30pm lecture in Room 2-190.

This annual lecture series features presentations by top mathematicians. Many thanks to the late Jim Simons and his wife, Marilyn Simons, for their continued financial support of these lectures.
