Control and identification of unknown PDEs

In this talk we address the control of Partial Differential equations (PDEs) with unknown parameters. Our objective is to devise an efficient algorithm capable of both identifying and controlling the ...

Detecting a late changepoint in the preferential attachment model

ABSTRACT: Motivated by the problem of detecting a change in the evolution of a network, we consider the preferential attachment random graph model with a time-dependent attachment function. Our goal i...

Classification of disordered insulators in 1D

Abstract: In this talk I will describe some of the mathematical aspects of disordered topological insulators. These are novel materials which insulate in their bulk but (may) conduct along their edge;...

Metric Positivity for Holomorphic Vector Bundles

Holomorphic line bundles play many important roles in complex analytic geometry. In the higher rank case, much less is known, but there have been important advances in the last 15 years. After a revie...

Upper bounds on the energy of dilute gases of hard-sphere bosons

Abstract: In the last decades, since the first experimental realizations of Bose- Einstein condensates, the study of large bosonic systems has been a very active field of research both in physics...

Arithmetic finiteness of very irregular varieties

I will discuss joint work with Marco Maculan in which we prove the Shafarevich conjecture for a large class of irregular varieties over number fields. Our proof combines the method of Lawrence-Sawin w...

Towards simple and affordable solutions for a unified first order hyperbolic model of continuum mechanics

The talk concerns the ongoing development of a non-standard model of continuum mechanics, originally due to Godunov, Peshkov, and Romenski (GPR), and its numerical approximation in Finite Volume and D...

How long are the arms in Dielectric-Breakdown Model?

ABSTRACT: In this talk we will discuss the recent progress on such random growth models as Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) and Dielectric-Breakdown Model (DBM) in 2 and 3 dimensions. These models ...
