2 Institute Film Series in partnership with Women and Mathematics

British intelligence agency MI6 in 1939 recruited English mathematician Alan
Turing, portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, to decipher Nazi codes including
Enigma codes.  Turing, assisted by Joan Clarke, portrayed by Keira
Knightley, worked to analyze them and eventually built a machine to decipher
them.  The film directed by Morten Tyldum won an Oscar for Best Writing,
Adapted Screenplay. 

This film runs 1 hour and 54 minutes. 

The event is free and open to the Institute community.  Please note that
food and drink are not allowed in Wolfensohn Hall.

3 Burgess bounds for short character sums in new settings 
   Lillian Pierce 

In the late 1950's, Burgess developed a novel method for bounding short sums
of a multiplicative Dirichlet character. This resulted in a subconvexity
bound for Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line. In recent work, we
have adapted the Burgess method to prove bounds for character sums in more
general settings, and in particular via an unexpected application of the
Vinogradov Mean Value Theorem. We will survey aspects of these methods,
including joint works with D.R. Heath-Brown and J. Xu.
