Title

Large hypercubes

Abstract

I’ll talk about an unexpected structure — a “large hypercube” in the symmetric group we found with the aid of a tool called AlphaEvolve from Google DeepMind, and what it has to do with numerical integration and variants of Sudoku. (joint work with Nicolas Libedinsky, David Plaza, José Simental, Geordie Williamson.)
