David Banks, Duke University, Snakes and Ladders
This talk describes tips and tricks for building a successful career in the quantitative sciences. It covers research strategies, work/life balance, networking, and management of the portfolio of activities needed for different kinds of careers (academic, government, and industry). There…

Mathematical modeling is a way for researchers to visualize components of a system and analyze how those components interact. When these models become significantly large, many problems arise. Here are a few: 1. As models increasingly complex with a…

Following Beilinson and Drinfeld, we describe vertex algebras as Lie algebras in a certain pseudo-tensor category. More precisely, starting from a vector superspace V with a linear operator on it, we introduce the operad of n-ary chiral operations on V. When V is…

Accurate estimation of microseismic events (small earthquakes) generated during hydraulic fracturing of low permeability rocks such as shale enables important characterization of hydraulic fracture networks. Determining the orientation of the fracture is important in characterizing the effectiveness of the stimulation…

Michael Strayer, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Finite and infinite minuscule and d-complete posets from Kac-Moody representations
The finite minuscule and d-complete posets generalize Young and shifted Young diagrams. They have many nice combinatorial properties; for example, minuscule posets are Gaussian and Sperner, and d-complete posets have the hook length and jeu de taquin properties. Infinite analogs…

Geophysical seismic exploration, as well as radar and sonar imaging, require the solution of large scale forward and inverse problems for hyperbolic systems of equations. In this talk, I will show how model order reduction can be used to address…

The still open topological surgery conjecture for 4-manifolds is equivalent to the statement that all good boundary links are freely slice. In this talk, I will show that every good boundary link with a pair of derivative links on a…
