Colloquium – Xiaoming Huo, Georgia Institute of Technology
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Statistically and Numerically Efficient Independence Test The big data is a well-known phenomenon in the modern world. The emerging discipline of data science has inspired a lot of discussion and debate in the scientific research communities, including the mathematical and statistical science community. Contributing to this discussion, in the first part of this talk,

Applied Math Seminar – Kevin Curtin, UA Department of Geography
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Determining Optimal Police Patrol Areas…and More: a Research Program in Quantitative Human Geography Abstract: My research program is rooted in the Quantitative Revolution in Geography that began in the 1950s, and that has culminated in the broad acceptance and use of Geographic Information Systems. More specifically, my research lies in the use of quantitative methods
Analysis Seminar – John-Oliver MacLellan (University of Alabama)
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: "A Compact Embedding Theorem for Degenerate Sobolev Spaces" Abstract: In this talk I will prove a compact embedding theorem for degenerate Sobolev spaces into naturally associated weighted Lebesgue spaces. This is a generalization of the Rellich Kondrachov compactness theorem for classical Sobolev spaces. These embeddings have been studied in a very general context in
Colloquium – John Etnyre, Georgia Institute of Technology
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTopic: Curvature and contact topology Abstract: Contact geometry is a beautiful subject that has important interactions with topology in dimension three. In this talk I will give a brief introduction to contact geometry and discuss its interactions with Riemannian geometry. In particular I will discuss a contact geometry analog of the famous sphere theorem and
