Title: Two-sided Mullins-Sekerka flow does not preserve convexity, after Uwe F. Mayer   Abstract: The (two-sided) Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for closed hypersurfaces, which was originally proposed as a

Colloquium – Ken Ono, Emory University

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

Topic:  Polya’s Program for the Riemann Hypothesis and Related Problems Abstract: In 1927 Polya proved that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials for Riemann’s Xi-function.
