ZoomTitle: Anderson localization for disordered graphs Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss a mathematical treatment of a disordered system modeling localization of quantum waves in random media. We will show that the transport properties of several natural Hamiltonians on metric and discrete trees with random branching numbers are suppressed by disorder. This phenomenon is

ZoomTitle: Suitable weak solutions of the Ericksen--Leslie system for nematic liquid crystal flows Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the Ericksen--Leslie system modeling the hydrodynamics of nematic liquid crystals. It is a strongly coupled PDE system between incompressible Navier--Stokes equations for the underlying fluid velocity field and gradient-flow-like equations for the director field describing

ZoomTITLE: Variations of the sharp interfaces in multiphase problems - Part III ABSTRACT: We will continue with the discussion in Part II and derive the first variation of the polar solvation energy of an implicit solvation model. In the rest of this series of talk, we aim at answering the question whether the minimizer of the

ZoomTitle: Dyadic analysis (virtually) meets number theory Abstract: In this talk we discuss two ways in which dyadic analysis and number theory share a rich interaction. The first involves a complete classification of "distinct dyadic systems". These are sets of grids which allow one to compare any Euclidean ball nicely with any dyadic cube, and

Colloquium – Wilfrid Gangbo, UCLA
ZoomTitle: Analytical Aspects of Mean Field Games Abstract: We highlight the isometry between the set of probability measures and the quotient of a Hilbert space. This allows to see that some important operators, such as the common noise operator in Mean Field Games, are nothing but partial Laplacians. We introduce to the so-called master equation

ZoomTitle: Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Multicellular Aggregate Self-Assembly in Biofabrication Abstract: We present a three-dimensional lattice model to study self-assembly and fusion of multicellular aggregate systems by using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. This model is developed to describe and predict the time evolution of postprinting morphological structure formation during tissue or organ maturation in

ZoomTitle: Variations of the sharp interfaces in multiphase problems - Part IV Abstract: In the first part of the talk, we will show the existence of a minimizer for a minimal surface problem with prescribed mean curvature and obstacle. In the second part, we will focus on the question whether the minimizing surface enjoys enough

ZoomTitle: Necessary Conditions for Two Weight Weak Type Norm Inequalities for Multilinear Singular Integral Operators Abstract: In this talk we will discuss necessary conditions for a multilinear singular operator T to satisfy two weight weak type norm inequalities provided the kernel of T satisfies a weak non degeneracy condition. As an application of our techniques

ZoomTitle: The co-rank of three-dimensional homology handlebody groups Abstract: A group G is called very large if G has a non-abelian free quotient. We examine the question of which three-manifolds have very large fundamental group. This question is especially subtle for a three-dimensional homology handlebody of genus g, since the fundamental group of such a
