A cross-sample chi-squared statistic for testing independence applies to two-way contingency tables with diverging dimensions. A degrees-of-freedom adjusted chi-squared approximation applies continuously throughout the high-dimensional regime and matches Pearson\'s chi-squared statistic in both the mean and variance. Specific examples are provided to demonstrate the asymptotic normality of the three types of test statistics when the classical regularity conditions for the chi-squared and normal approximations are violated. Simulation results demonstrate that the chi-squared and normalapproximations are more robust for the likelihood ratio and Hellinger statistics, compared with Pearson\'s chi-squared statistics.

In this talk, we give a mathematical description of Wilson loop amplitudes in 5D gauge theory. This description will lead to conjectures about structures of Gromov-Witten invariants of some compact semi-Fano threefolds. We will give some evidence for these conjectures. This is a work in progress with Shuai Guo and Xin Wang.</div><div class="event_time">13:30 &bull; ETH Zentrum, Building ITS, Room  </div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Wednesday, August 23      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Thursday, August 24      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, August 25      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>  </div>  <div id="sms_footer">    address: Alessandra Naldi Windler, Departement Mathematik, HG G 51.4, ETH Zurich, Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zurich<br />    email: <a href="mailto:bulletin@math.ch">bulletin@math.ch</a> | phone: +41 44 632 3684 | url: <a href="https://math.ch">https://math.ch</a>    <br /><br /><img src="//www2.math.ethz.ch/smsjs/sms_logo.gif" width="150" alt="SMS/SMG Logo" title="SMS/SMG Logo" />  </div></div>';
