Geometry and Topology Seminar: Thomas Wears, Longwood University, The Ricci Flow on Three-Dimensional Metric Lie Algebras
SAS 4201A 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…
Algebra and Combinatorics Seminar: Maximilian Kaipel, University of Cologne, Partitioned fans, hyperplane arrangements and K(pi,1) spaces
SAS 4201Polyhedral 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…
Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis Seminar: Wojciech Ozanski, FSU, Logarithmic spiral vortex sheets
ZoomWe 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,…
Colloquium: Gadi Fibich, Tel Avis University, Effects of Network Structure on Spreading of Innovations
SAS 4201Spreading (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…
Financial Mathematics Seminar: Xunyu Zhou, Columbia University, Learning Merton’s Strategies in an Incomplete Market
SAS 1102We 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.…
Applied Math Graduate Student Seminar: Harley Hanes, NC State, Boundary Penalties, Sensitivity Equation Projection, and Optimal Sample Identification in Reduced-Order Models
SAS 4201Reduced-order models (ROMs) are a critical tool for sensitivity analysis, parameter inference, and uncertainty quantification where high-fidelity models would be computationally intractable. Galerkin POD-ROMs are one particular class of ROMs…
Biomathematics Seminar: Jichun Xie, Duke, Disentangling Cellular Heterogeneities and Activities from the Topology Structures of Single-cell Co-expression Graphs
Cox 306Gene co-expression graphs are a rich source of information, revealing critical insights into cellular functions, states, and activities. Yet, extracting meaningful signals from these graphs presents a formidable challenge. This…
Geometry and Topology Seminar: Salem Selim, UC Irvine, Partial data inverse problems for magnetic Schrödinger operators with potentials of low regularity.
SAS 4201In this talk we discuss partial data inverse boundary problems for magnetic Schrödinger operators on bounded domains in the Euclidean space as well as some Riemannian manifolds with boundary. In…
Algebra and Combinatorics Seminar: Emily Barnard, DePaul University, Pop-stack sorting and pattern-avoiding permutations
SAS 4201The 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…
