Applied Math And Analysis Seminar
Alexander Cloninger (UC San Diego)
Wednesday, September 19 - 12:00 pm
Physics 119
We discuss the geometry of Laplacian eigenfunctions on compact manifolds and combinatorial graphs. The `dual' geometry of Laplacian eigenfunctions is well understood on the torus and euclidean space,...
Number Theory Seminar
Jayce Robert Getz (Duke)
Wednesday, September 19 - 3:15 pm

Braverman and Kazhdan, L. Lafforgue, Ngo, and Sakellaridis have pursued a set of conjectures asserting that analogues of the Poisson summation formula are valid for all spherical varieties. If proven...
Probability Seminar

119 Physics
The goal of this talk is to further a joint project involving Carla Staver, Simon Levin, Rick Durrett, and Ruibo Ma. The puzzle is: why can savannah and forest display stable coexistence when this is...
Algebraic Geometry Seminar
Humberto Diaz (University of California at Riverside)

119 Physics
In this talk, I will discuss Chow motives and the Rost nilpotence principle, which played a role in Voevodsky's celebrated proof of the Milnor conjecture. Conjectural in general, this principle is...
Triangle Topology Seminar
Matthew Stoffregen (M.I.T., Mathematics)
Tuesday, September 25 - 4:30 pm
UNC, Phillips 381
For periodic links, we show that the Khovanov space of Lipshitz-Sarkar admits a natural cyclic group action, and identify its fixed point set. As an application, we prove that the Khovanov homology (...

Physics 119
In this talk we will introduce a new class of flocking models that feature emergence of global alignment via only local communication. Such models have been sought for since the introduction of Cucker...
Probability Seminar
Yu-ting Chen (U of Tennessee, Knoxville)

119 Physics
In this talk, I will discuss a generalized Moran process from the evolutionary game theory. The generalization incorporates arrangement of by graphs and games among individuals. For these additional...
Applied Math And Analysis Seminar
Dana Mendelson (University of Chicago)

In this talk, I will discuss several problems on nonlinear wave and dispersive equations with random initial data, including the energy critical nonlinear wave and Schroedinger equations, and...
Applied Math And Analysis Seminar
Wencai Liu (University of California-Irvine)
Monday, October 1 - 12:00 pm

We apply piecewise constructions and gluing technics to construct asymptotically flat (hyperbolic) manifolds such that associated Laplacians have dense embedded eigenvalues or singular continuous...
