Edged Crystalline Cohomology

I will talk about a new cohomology theory for algebraic varieties in positive characteristic, called edged crystalline cohomology. This is a generalisation of crystalline cohomology and depends on the...

Hybrid perturbations in elliptic regularity

Powell-Sabin splines: unstructured and structured case

A standard approach to the construction of smooth low degree polynomial splines over an unstructured triangulation is based on splitting of triangles in such a way that the refined triangulation allow...

Gaussian quadrature rules for univariate splines and their applications to tensor-product isogeometric analysis

Univariate Gaussian quadrature rules for spline spaces that are frequently used in Galerkin discretizations to build mass and stiffness matrices will be discussed. Their computation is based on the ho...

Deformations and lifts of Calabi-Yau varieties in characteristic p

Homotopy theory allows us to study formal moduli problems via their tangent Lie algebras. We apply this general paradigm to Calabi-Yau varieties Z in characteristic p. First, we show that if Z has tor...

Fixed-curve counts in algebraic varieties

The counts of algebraic curves in an algebraic variety satisfying specific geometric conditions are referred to as Gromov-Witten invariants of the variety. In my talk, I will focus on these invariants...

Two Dimensional Models of Multi-Lane Traffic Flow with Lane Changing Conditions

The first part of the talk is dedicated to the derivation on an advection-diffusion equation in two dimensions from a system of one dimensional hyperbolic PDEs modeling the macroscopic behavior of mul...

On the local geometry of the moduli spaces of cubic threefolds in A_5 and of (2,2) threefolds in A_9

We will report on joint works with Paola Frediani, Juan Carlos Naranjo and Gian Pietro Pirola. We study the second fundamental form of the Siegel metric in A_5 restricted to the moduli space of the in...

On the CW-structure induced by a Morse-Smale gradient flow

A classic yet delicate fact of Morse theory states that the unstable manifolds of a Morse-Smale gradient-flow on a closed manifold M are the open cells of a CW-decomposition of M. I will describe a se...

Non-existence of integral Hopf orders for certain Hopf algebras

The study of the (non)-existence of integral Hopf orders was originally motivated by Kaplansky's sixth conjecture, which is a generalization of a Frobenius theorem in the Hopf algebra setting. In fact...
