Description
On the interface between number theory and wireless technology. (..or "Heard the one about the two number theorists in a loud, crowded bar?") #
Abstract: Recently a concept known as "interference alignment" has been proposed to increase the transmission capabilities of various wireless networks and ideas from Diophantine approximation, a branch of number theory, are playing a key role. In this talk I hope to give a brief taste of this surprising ,and potentially exciting, link between two seemingly disparate areas.
