ColloquiumQuasilinear Systems of PDEs: Hamiltonian structures and integrability Patrick Reynolds (University of New Brunswick) Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 3:30 pm Tilley Hall Room 5 POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER This talk will focus on two questions concerning quasilinear systems of PDEs (also known as systems of hydrodynamic type): under what conditions are they Hamiltonian, and under what conditions are they integrable? We’ll see how such conditions can be formulated in terms of...

ColloquiumA Trip to the Tropics Joe Kileel (University of California, Berkeley) Tuesday, January 7, 2014 at 3:30 pm Tilley Hall Room 404 In the middle of winter, this talk will offer a trip to the tropics. Er, at least to tropical mathematics, where algebraic geometry is turned into polyhedral geometry, 1 + 1 = 1, and the picture below is of a smooth curve: By the end of the talk, that should all make sense. Joe Kileel is a Graduate Student in the Department of Mathematics, University...

Grad Seminar Gelfand-Fuks Cohomology of the Formal Vector Fields Fereshteh Yazdani (UNB) Thursday, December 19, 2013 at 3:30 p.m. Tilley Hall Room 5 In my talk I will speak about the concept of spectral sequence which has a very important role in computing the cohomology and I will define the Gelfand-Fuks cohomology by introducing formal vector fields. Then by using the method of applying spectral sequence I will show the relation between the Gelfand-Fuks cohomology and the cohomology of...

Graduate Seminar Bosonic String in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Spacetime Shohreh Rahmati (UNB) Thursday, December 5, 2013 at 3:30 pm Tilley Hall Room 5 Bosonic strings are one-dimensional objects that propagate in a two-dimensional manifold embedded in a higher dimensional target space. The evolution of the string depends on the metric of the target space. In this talk, I will talk about the Polyakov action for a bosonic string and its constraints. I will also describe briefly the...

Graduate Seminar Dynamics of the Wangersky-Cunningham Predator-Prey Model Xi Hu (UNB) Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 1:30 pm Tilley Hall Room 104 The Wangersky-Cunningham predator-prey model is a two dimensional model which adds a time lag into the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model. The Wangersky-Cunningham Model assumes that the predator does not immediately convert consumed prey into predator numbers, resulting in a time-lag between prey death and predator growth. In this talk, I will...

One of the solutions to Einstein’s equations is the Kerr solution which describes a rotating black hole. Roger Penrose suggested a method of extracting energy from such black holes known as the Penrose mechanism. In this talk, I will give an introduction...

When G/H is not compact, G-invariant elliptic operator on G/H in general fails to be Fredholm. In this talk, we will explain an index theorem about such operators using non-commutative geometry. Dr. Xiang Tang is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Washington University in...

In short, non-commutative desingularizations of a commutative ring R are endomorphism rings of certain R-modules of finite global dimension. After some motivating examples, we discuss several approaches to non-commutative resolutions...

This is an example of phase space analysis of a partial differential equation (PDE) that can be formulated as a Hamiltonian dynamical system with infinitely many degrees of freedom. Mathematicians have developed techniques for...

Colloquium What Happened Before the Big Bang? Martin Bojowald (Penn State) Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 3:30 pm Tilley Hall Room 5 The standard model of cosmology suggests that the universe started with a phase of very high density, described by general relativity as a singularity. Quantum gravity attempts to resolve the singularity by a more fundamental, microscopic theory of space-time. If its equations always remain valid, they could tell us what happened at or even before the big...

They encompass a large array of examples and allow us to encode the inherent properties of the C*- algebra by analyzing its corresponding graph. In this talk, I will discuss the construction of these C*- algebras as well as its ideal...

In such processes, the link probability decreases with distance. The spatial embedding can be seen as a representation of the “hidden reality” about the network. Retrieving the spatial...

There is a theory, analogous to the log MMP, which provides terminal models for Brauer log pairs over surfaces. We define the notion of “numerical rationality” for Brauer log pairs, and discuss some of their properties. This...
