ESOP seminar. Jonas Hjort is Assistant Professor at Columbia University. He will present a paper entitled "Sources of Variation in State Effectiveness and Consequences for Policy Design".

The seminar has been cancelled due to personal circumstances. 

Patrick Peter, Directeur de Recherche CNRS, IAP-Paris

Department seminar. Yuliy Sannikov is Professor of Economics at Princeton University. He will present a paper entitled "Optimal asset management contracts with hidden savings", written jointly with Sebastian Di Tella.

In this talk I will present a paper by D. Bisch, R. Nicoara and S. Popa where continuous families of irreducible subfactors of the hyperfinite II_1 factor which are non-isomorphic, but have all the same standard invariant are constructed. In particular, they obtain 1-parameter families of irreducible, non-isomorphic subfactors of the hyperfinite II_1 factor with Jones index 6, which have all the same standard invariant with property (T).

Igor Barros Barbosa (PhD candidate at Department of Computer and Information Science at NTNU) gives a seminar on deep learning at Department of Mathematics on the 8th floor of Niels Henrik Abels hus.

Title: Enumerative Geometry of singular curves in a Linear System

Abstract: Enumerative geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the following question: "How many geometric objects satisfy certain constraints". A well known class of enumerative question is to count curves in a linear system H^0(X,L) that have some prescribed singularities. In this talk we will describe a topological method to approach this problem. We will express the enumerative numbers as the Euler class of an appropriate bundle. We will then go on to explain how we compute the degenerate contribution of the Euler class using a topological method.

Abhik Ghosh (Dept. of Biostatistics, UiO) will give a seminar in the lunch area, 8th floor Niels Henrik Abels hus at 14:15. 

ESOP seminar. Jonas Poulsen is a lecturer/advisor at Harvard University. He will present a paper entitled "The arrival of fast Internet and skilled job creation in Africa", written jointly with Jonas Hjort. 

We will have a new ¡°mingle¡± meeting on Friday at 11.15 (as usual). The main attraction will be Ingunn Wehus and Signe Riemer-Sorensen.   

 Otherwise there will be updates from Kristine and Viggo on the running of the institute. But fear not, there will also be plenty of time for informal chat and eating of cake.

All are welcome to the lobby on the first floor.
