These singularities generate cusps that limit the global regularity of the wave function in spectral Barron spaces, which are particularly relevant to the analysis of Fourier-based approximation methods and neural networks.<br>\r\nIn this talk, we study the effect of extracting a truncated Jastrow factor designed to capture the leading coalescence singularities while preserving the asymptotic behavior of the wave function at infinity. We show that the resulting quotient gains one full order of spectral Barron regularity: whereas the original wave function typically belongs to spaces of order (s<1), the Jastrow quotient belongs to those of order (s<2). An explicit hydrogenic example shows that the threshold (s=2) is natural.<br>\r\nThe proof relies on conjugating the Hamiltonian by the Jastrow factor and carrying out a global Fourier-space analysis. It combines resolvent estimates, precise control of singular coefficients, and a fixed-point argument separating low and high frequencies.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n---<br>\r\nThe electronic structure reading group brings together researchers and students interested in mathematical aspects of electronic structure problems and adjacent topics, including:\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li>Density Functional Theory</li>\r\n\t<li>Many-body Schrödinger equation for electrons</li>\r\n\t<li>Born-Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics</li>\r\n\t<li>Numerical analysis and error control</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWebsite: <a href=\"https://matmat.org/readinggroup/\">https://matmat.org/readinggroup/</a><br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-08-25T16:31:13", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-02T11:49:52", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "True", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "GC B3 31", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==GC%20B3%2031", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://team.inria.fr/matherials/team-members/virginie-ehrlacher-galland/\">Virginie Ehrlacher (ENPC)</a>", "organizer": "Michael Herbst, Noé Blassel, Niklas Schmitz", "contact": "Michael Herbst, Noé Blassel, Niklas Schmitz", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121568/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/14/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/191/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/246/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72754, "title": "Exploring the ∞-categorical semantics of homotopy type theory", "slug": "exploring-the-categorical-semantics-of-homotopy--2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/exploring-the-categorical-semantics-of-homotopy--2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33968/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33968/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33968/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-15", "end_date": "2026-10-15", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "11:00:00", "description": "<p>This talk is meant to give an overview of the semantics of HoTT in (∞,1)-categories, tackling the key challenge of rigidification: the process of bridging homotopy-coherent notions phrased in models of higher categories such as quasicategories, and their type-theoretical counterparts that must account for the inherent strictness of type theory.<br>\r\nAfter quickly recalling the usual categorical semantics of extensional Martin-Löf type theory within locally cartesian closed category, the plan is to present some useful ideas to carry over some of the argument to the higher setting.

The robot must perceive a ball travelling at high speed, estimate its position and spin, predict its trajectory, decide how to respond, and execute a precise motion, all while interacting with an intelligent and unpredictable opponent.<br>\r\nIn this talk, I will present Project ACE, an autonomous table tennis robot developed at Sony AI that progressed from learning basic racket skills to competing with elite human players. I will discuss the complete system behind this progression: high-speed visual perception, reinforcement learning, simulation, robot control, and the iterative sim-to-real process that enabled policies trained in simulation to perform on a real robot. Beyond table tennis, ACE provides a case study in what it takes to move from impressive robotic demonstrations to robust physical intelligence. I will share some of the lessons we learned about combining learning with control, using real-world failures to improve simulation, and designing AI systems that can adapt and act under the speed, uncertainty, and constraints of the physical world.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio</strong><br>\r\nMireille El Gheche is a Lead Research Scientist at SoftBank Robotics, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics.
