A COMBINATORIAL FORMULA FOR INFORMATION FLOW IN A NETWORK

The Lie superalgebra q(n) is the second super-analogue of the general Lie algebra gl(n). Due to its complicated structure, q(n) is usually called “the queer superalgebra”. In this talk we will discuss certain old and new results related to t...

Unconditional results without an unproved hypothesis such as the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH) are very weak for an individual number field. But if we consider a family of number fields, one can prove just as strong results as we woul...

A fundamental problem in differential geometry is to characterize intrinsic metrics on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold M2 which can be realized as isometric immersions into R3. This problem can be formulated as initial and/or boundary ...

We survey work on a class of nonlinear elliptic PDEs that was initiated by Moser. Methods from PDE, dynamical systems, and geometry set in the framework of the calculus of variations are used to construct a rich collection of solutions.

Empirical observations have shown that for an adequate description of many random phenomena non-Gaussian processes are needed. The paths of these Markov processes necessarily have jumps. Their generators are nonlocal operators which admit a ...

In this talk I will first give a survey of recent recent results SDEs with singular coefficients. Then I will report some recent results, jointly with Longjie Xie, on critical and supercritical SDEs with singular coefficients.

There are three Bieberbach theorems on flat Riemannian manifolds; characterization, rigidity and finiteness. These extend to almost flat manifolds. We discuss characterization, rigidity and finiteness of infra-nilmanifolds (almost flat manif...

For the irreducible representations of the Hecke algebras, the minimal elements in each conjugacy class play an important role. In this talk, we try to review the minimal length elements and characterize in a more efficient way to find the m...

Unprojection or "constructing bigger Gorenstein ideals from smaller one" is an algebraic device for constructing Gorenstein varieties in codimension 4, 5, ..., beyond the range of standard structure theorems; it has a large number of fairly ...

Brownian motion with darning (BMD) is a diffusion process obtained from Brownian motion by shorting each hole in the space into one point. In this talk, I will present a quick introduction to BMD and its basic properties including the zero p...

Anomalous diffusion phenomenon has been observed in many natural systems, from the signalling of biological cells, to the foraging behaviour of animals, to the travel times of contaminants in groundwater. In this talk, I will first discuss t...

A classical theorem of Jacobs, de Leeuw and Glicksberg shows that a representation of a group on a reflexive Banach space may be decomposed into a returning subspace and a weakly mixing subspace. This may be realized as arising from the idem...

In this lecture, I will convey subtle interplay between dynamics of Hamiltonian flows and La-grangian intersection theory via the analytic theory of Floer homology in symplectic geometry. I will explain how Floer homology theory (`closed str...

초록: In this lecture, we study various dissipative effect in a phase space from either entropy dissipation or boundary. We see how this effect leads mathematical studies on long time behavior and scale-uniform estimate of kinetic PDEs in g...

In this talk I will present some results in the area of topological, low-dimensional, discrete dynamical systems.

Given a group of isometries of a metric space, one can draw a random sequence of group elements, and look at its action on the space.  What are the asymptotic properties of such a random walk?  The answer depends on the geometry of the space...

Trisection of an angle and duplication of a cube are among the famous problems of Greeks. Although they were proven later to be impossible in general, Greeks already knew that one can trisect an angle and duplicate a cube by supplimenting se...

The spaces admitting a rational parameterization are called rational. In particular plane conics, including circles, are rational. We will explain a few interesting applications of the rational parameterization of a circle. Also several exam...
