Title: A Survey of the Illustrious Jacobian Conjecture Abstract: The celebrated Jacobian Conjecture asserts: Let F be a polynomial map from C^n to C^n.  If the jacobian determinant of F is everywhere non-vanishing, then F is a polynomial automorphism. This conjecture, now 82 years old and still unsolved for n>1, can be viewed as a

Title: Fractals and Syzygies Abstract: Syzygies are objects invented and utilized by David Hilbert in 1890 to study relations among polynomial equations, and have played a big role in the development of modern algebraic geometry. The quest to understand patterns of syzygies is both challenging and interesting, and sometimes reveals unexpected connections to other branches

Colloquium – Shuyu Sun (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology)

Title: Bound-Preserving and Phase-wise Conservative Schemes for Incompressible Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media with Multiple Capillary Pressure Functions Abstract: Two or multiple phases commonly occur as fluid mixture in petroleum industry, where oil, gas and water are often produced and transported together. As a result, petroleum reservoir engineers spent great efforts in the development and
