A metric Lie algebra is a real Lie Algebra with an inner product. In this talk, we will outline a complete classification of all three-dimensional metric Lie algebras up to notions of equivalence determined by isomorphism and scaling and investigate the Ricci flow on the resulting parameter spaces of equivalence classes.
Polyhedral fans are geometric objects, which arise naturally in many areas of mathematics, for example in toric geometry, the theory of hyperplane arrangements and representation theory. In many cases, there are natural ways of identifying some of the polyhedral cones defining a fan, thus giving a "partition of the fan". To each such partitioned fan…
We will discuss a special family of 2D incompressible inviscid fluid flows in the form of logarithmic spiral vortex sheets. Such flows are determined by a vorticity distribution of a curve R^2, and they are notoriously hard to study analytically. In the talk we will discuss several results regarding logarithmic spiral vortex sheets: well-posedness of the spirals as…
Spreading (diffusion) of new products is a classical problem. Traditionally, it has been analyzed using the compartmental Bass model, which implicitly assumes that all individuals are homogeneous and connected to each other. To relax these assumptions, research has gradually shifted to the more fundamental Bass model on networks, which is a particle model for the…
We study Merton’s expected utility maximization problem in an incomplete market, characterized by a factor process in addition to the stock price process, where all the model primitives are unknown. We take the reinforcement learning (RL) approach to learn optimal portfolio policies directly by exploring the unknown market, without attempting to estimate the model parameters.…

The pop-stack sorting method takes an ordered list or permutation and reverses each descending run without changing their relative positions. In this talk we will review recent combinatorial results on the pop-stack sorting method, and we will extend the pop-stack sorting method to certain pattern avoiding permutations, called c-sortable. If time permits, we will describe…
In the past decade, deep learning has made astonishing breakthroughs in various real-world applications. It is a common belief that deep neural networks are good at learning various geometric structures hidden in data sets. One of the central interests in deep learning theory is to understand why deep neural networks are successful, and how they…
