Symplectic manifolds show up in many areas of mathematics, including topology, geometry, representation theory, and dynamics. In the talk I will give an introduction to symplectic manifolds and then discuss…
Motivated by the problem of classifying quantum symmetries of non-semisimple, finite-dimensional associative algebras, we define a notion of connection between bounded quivers and build a bicategory of bounded quivers and…
Machine learning has become a widely popular and successful paradigm, including for data-driven science. A major application is forecasting complex dynamical systems. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have evolved as a…
We consider the random Cayley graphs of a sequence of finite nilpotent groups of diverging sizes G = G(n), whose ranks and nilpotency classes are uniformly bounded. For some k…
We analyze a randomized preconditioned Cholesky-QR algorithm for computing the thin QR factorization of real matrices with full rank. Using a perturbation analysis that is transparent and identifies clearly all…
Generalizing unknotting number, n-adjacent knots have n crossings such that changing any non-empty subset of them results in the unknot. We determine the 2-adjacent knots through 12-crossings, with one exception.…
One of the main approaches to topological data analysis is to study discrete invariants of (multiparameter) persistence modules. In this talk, we discuss recent research which utilizes techniques from (relative)…
Finding combinatorial interpretations for the structure constants of Schubert polynomials is a long-standing open problem in algebraic combinatorics. In the case where one of the Schubert polynomials is a Schur…
In this talk we will first briefly review some geometric inverse problems we have studied for the one-dimensional heat, wave and Burgers equations. Then, we will consider a one-dimensional fluid-solid…
In this talk, we will investigate the acoustic transmission eigenvalue problem associated with an inhomogeneous media with a conductive boundary. These are a new class of eigenvalue problems that are…
Quantum computers are physical machines that process information using the principles of quantum mechanics, which in turn is underpinned by linear algebra. The talk will start with a review of…
A number of continuous interacting particle systems can be described as collections of Brownian particles on the real line whose collision dynamics are mediated by the local times associated with…
This talk will begin by constructing a new algebra based on a generalization of the set of relations for Ozsváth-Szabó's bordered Heegaard Floer algebra $B(n,k)$. Then, I will strengthen an…
Matrix computations are ubiquitous in scientific computing and data science. However, many existing methods consume enormous computational resources for solving increasingly large and complex problems. In this talk, I will…
On a Riemannian manifold with boundary, the X-ray transform integrates a function or a tensor field along all geodesics through the manifold. The reconstruction of the integrand of interest from its X-ray transform is the basis of…
Noncrossing partitions and nonnesting partitions are both counted by Catalan numbers. Noncrossing partitions on admit a natural cyclic action of order 2n, induced by the Kreweras complement. Nonnesting partitions admit a natural toggle-based…
How to use mathematics to see inside something that is too large or too precious to be opened up? Would you like to learn about the mathematical theory behind medical…
