Peter McGrath, NC State, Quantitative Isoperimetric Inequalities on Riemannian Surfaces
ZoomIn this talk, we introduce a scattering asymmetry which measures the asymmetry of a domain on a surface by quantifying its incompatibility with an isometric circle action. We prove a quantitative isoperimetric inequality involving the scattering asymmetry and characterize the domains with vanishing scattering asymmetry by their rotational symmetry. We also give a new proof…

Adam Lowrance, Vassar College, Extremal Khovanov homology of Turaev genus one links
ZoomThe Turaev surface of a link diagram is a surface built from a cobordism between the all-A and all-B Kauffman states of the diagram. The Turaev surface can be seen as a Jones polynomial analogue of the Seifert surface. The Turaev genus of a link is the minimum genus of the Turaev surface for any…
Michael Shearer, North Carolina State University, Riemann Problems for the BBM Equation
ZoomThe BBM equation is a nonlinear dispersive scalar PDE related to the KdV equation. However, it has a non-convex dispersion relation that introduces a variety of novel wave structures. These waves are highlighted by considering numerical solutions of Riemann problems, in which a smoothed step function initial condition u(x,0) exhibits long-time behavior that is a…

Felipe Gonçalves, University of Bonn, Germany, Sign Uncertainty
ZoomWe will talk about the recent developments of the sign uncertainty principle and its relation with sphere packing and quadrature formulas. The talk will mainly be a report of the paper New Sign Uncertainty Principles, joint work with J. P. Ramos and D. Oliveira e Silva.
