Title: Sampling Under Symmetry
Speaker: | Nisheeth Vishnoi |
Affiliation: | Yale University |
Zoom: | Please email Emma Watson |
Abstract:
Exponential densities on orbits of Lie groups such as the unitary group are endowed with surprisingly rich mathematical structure and. traditionally, arise in diverse areas of physics, random matrix theory, and statistics.
In this talk, we will discuss the computational properties of such distributions and also present new applications to quantum inference and differential privacy.
This talk will require no background in Lie theory and should be broadly accessible.
Based on joint works with Jonathan Leake and Colin McSwiggen.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
