우리의 직관에 의하면 우주는 4차원으로 이루어져있다. 달리 말하면 우리가 어떤 사건을 기술 할 때 네 개의 숫자(공간3 + 시간1) 이면 충분하다는 것 이다. 세상에 다른 여분의 차원이 더 있다고 가정 여러 물리 법칙을 통일적으로 기술할 수 있음이 알려졌다...

In this talk, I will introduce the audience to the original beauty that leads to exploring the mathematical elements in music. I will cover the following topics on the connection between music and mathematics. - Harmonics & equations - ...

Stochastic heat equations (SHE) usually refer to heat equations perturbed by noise and can be a model for the density of diffusing particles under a random potential. When the irregularity of noise is dominating the diffusion, SHE exhibits ...

국제수학자대회(ICM, International Congress of Mathematicians)는 1897년 쮜리히에서 처음 개최되었고, 매 4년마다 개최된다. 100여국 4천여 명 정도의 규모로 9일 동안 계속된다. 우리시대 최고의 수학자들이 참여하며, 필즈상(Fields Medal)을 개막식에서 ...

The theory of L-functions and zeta functions have been the key subject of mathematical research during the centuries since the Riemann zeta function was introduced and its important connection to the arithmetic of the integer was recognized....

The disk embedding problem is of fundamental importance in the study of 4-dimensional topology. I will discuss its significance and difficulty, including how disk embedding makes dimension four intrinsically different from other dimensions. ...

We will talk about the Fourier restriction theorems for non-degenerate and degenerate curves in Euclidean space Rd. This problem was first studied by E. M. Stein and C. Fefferman for the circle and sphere, and it still remains an unsolved pr...

Dynamics of many particle system can be described by PDE of probability density function. The Boltzmann equation in kinetic theory is one of the most famous equation which describes rarefied gas dynamics. One of main property of the Boltzman...

When a biological system is modeled using a mathematical process, the following step is normally to estimate the system parameters. Despite the numerous computational and statistical techniques, estimating parameters for complex systems can...

In this colloquium talk, we study the Vlasov-Maxwell equations, a collisionless model in the field of kinetic theory. The model is a fundamental model for the dynamics of plasmas and was introduced in 1938 by Vlasov. Due to the hyperbolic n...

A knot is a smooth embedding of an oriented circle into the three-sphere, and two knots are concordant if they cobound a smoothly embedded annulus in the three-sphere times the interval. Concordance gives an equivalence relation, and the se...

Fermat´s last theorem

We discuss how the closed connected 1-dimensional manifold, namely the circle, can help understanding 3-manifolds. We describe so-called the universal circle proposed by a lengendary mathematician, William Thurston, and discuss certain gene...

Coulomb Gases are point processes consisting of particles whose pair interaction is governed by the Coulomb potential. There is also an external potential which confines the particles to a region. Wigner introduced this toy model for the Gi...

지난 50년간 진행된 분자생물학의 혁명으로 인해 생명 시스템이 수많은 분자들의 상호작용으로 구성되어 있음을 알게 되었습니다. 이러한 복잡한 시스템을 이해하기 위해서는 현미경과 같이 생명현상을 관찰하는 도구와 함께 수학은 생명과학 분야에서 필수적...

We start with the famous Heisenberg uncertainty principle to give the idea of the probability in quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states by precise inequalities that the product of uncertainties of two physical quantit...

Several L-functions with the names Dirichlet, Dedekind, Elliptic, and so on usually have p-adic counterparts, so called p-adic L-functions, which share many similar properties such as an evaluation formula at s=1, class number formula, and e...

헤지펀드에서 사용하고 있는 전략들을 간단히 소개하고 수학적 아이디어가 사용되는 예를 들어 퀀트의 필요한 능력을 소개한다. 수학과 헤지펀드의 관점에서 머신러닝(인공지능)의 사용 예를 설명한다.
