Title: Geometry of algebraic surfaces via combinatorics of cones Abstract: Effective, nef, semiample cones of projective manifolds are fundamental tools in algebraic geometry. They tell us about the geometry of projective manifolds and there are lots of studies about them. However, we still do not know much about these invariants of projective manifolds of general

Analysis Seminar – Simon Bortz

Title: Heat extensions of doubling weights and A_infty   A_infty weights play a fundamental role in weighted inequalities for operators used in harmonic analysis. It is known that if w is an A_infty weight then log w in the space of bounded mean oscillation (BMO) and the converse is `almost’ true (up to taking 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

Title: Quantifying model-form uncertainty with an application to subsurface transport Abstract: Computational models are increasingly used to make predictions affecting high-consequence engineering design and policy decisions. However, incomplete information about the represented phenomena and limitations in computational resources require approximations and simplifications that can lead to uncertainties in the computational models’ forms and errors in
