Pi Mu Epsilon Talk – Dr. William Velez, University of Arizona

206 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

In this talk I will describe my career path, how I have handled being the only Chicano in almost any position that I have held, and describe some of my mathematical and public policy work.

Analysis Seminar – Jose Conde, Instituto de Ciencias Matematicas, Madrid, Spain

227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Conde-Alonso, Jos´e Manuel (Universitat Aut`onoma de Barcelona, Spain):  A dyadic RBMO space and pointwise domination of nonhomogeneous Calder´on- Zygmund operators. Abstract: We revisit basic nonhomogeneous Caldero´n-Zygmund theory from the point of view of martingales. Given a measure µ of polynomial growth on Rd, we refine a deep result by David and Mattila to construct an

Algebra/Topology Seminar, Bulent Tosun, University of Alabama

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title : Contact geometry in low dimensions Abstract: This series of talks will be about explaining some fundamental open problems in three-dimensional contact geometry. This third talk will be on overtwisted vs. tight dichotomy (or flexible vs. rigid), and existence problem of tight contact structures.  

Analysis Seminar – Edward Timko, Indiana University

227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title : On polynomial n-tuples of commuting isometries Abstract : We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy to n-tuples of commuting isometries for n>2. Let V=(V_1,...,V_n) be an n-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann(V) denote the set of all n-variable polynomials  p such that p(V)=0.

Algebra/Topology Seminar – Sergio Fabi, UA Department of Physics

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Lie Groupoid Abstract: Motivation and introduction to the general theory of groupoid, Lie groupoid and Lie algebroid. Few examples are given, in particular the gauge groupoid.  

Last Math Undergrad Tea of the Semester and Putnam Exam Pep Rally

302 Gordon Palmer Hall

On Saturday, December 3, the UA Putnam team will compete in the 77th annual Putnam Exam.   Come to tea, cheer on the team and celebrate the end of the semester. There will be special refreshments and a visit by Big Al!  

Analysis Seminar – Geoff Diestel, Texas A&M of Central Texas

227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Determining Convex Bodies from Central Sections Abstract: Barker and Larman posed a problem which asks if a convex body in real n-space is uniquely determined by the volumes of its hyperplane sections supported by an internal compact convex set. A survey of some partial results along with the Minkowski uniqueness theorem are presented along
