Simon Bortz is going to talk about the ideas in a recent paper which can be found at https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.11544. Roughly speaking, the talk will be about how a quantitative approximation scheme, in fact, gives a form of quantitative coincidence. The main theorem has some nice applications (e.g. transference of boundedness of singular integrals and `geometric

TITLE: Adaptive pseudo-time methods for the Poisson-Boltzmann equation with Eulerian solvent excluded surface ABSTRACT: This work further improves the pseudo-transient approach for the Poisson Boltzmann equation (PBE) in the electrostatic analysis of solvated biomolecules. The numerical solution of the nonlinear PBE is known to involve many difficulties, such as exponential nonlinear term, strong singularity by the source

Title: Solvability of the Dirichlet Problem with L^p Data for Caloric Measure Abstract: This talk concerns two probability measures. First, we consider harmonic measure, which gives solutions to the Dirichlet problem associated to Laplace's equation. Additionally, we may view harmonic measure as the “hitting probability" for Brownian motion. This probabilistic interpretation shows the connection between

Title: A contact invariant from bordered Heegaard Floer homology Abstract: Given a contact structure on a bordered 3-manifold, we describe an invariant which takes values in the bordered sutured Floer homology of the manifold. This invariant satisfies a nice gluing formula, and recovers the Oszvath-Szabo contact class in Heegaard Floer homology. This is joint work

Title: Non-homogeneous T(1) theorem for singular integrals on product quasimetric spaces Abstract: In the Calderón-Zygmund Theory of Singular Integrals, the T(1) theorem of David and Journé is one of the most celebrated theorems. It gives easily-checked criteria for a singular integral operator T to be bounded from L^2(R^n) to L^2(R^n), meaning T(f) is bounded for

Title: Novel Bellman Estimates for Ap Weights Abstract: The Bellman function method is an assortment of tools for obtaining sharp inequalities in harmonic analysis. To handle an inequality, one fixes a set of parameters, called Bellman variables, and maximizes (or minimizes) the left-hand side subject to these constraints. The solution of the corresponding extremal problem

TITLE: Variations of the sharp interfaces in multiphase problems ABSTRACT: During recent decades, there has been a tremendous growth of activity on multi-phase problems, e.g. multiphase fluids. In most such models, different phases are separated by a sharp interface. This talk aims at introducing some basic geometric tools for taking first and second variations of the

Title: A combinatorial description of the knot concordance invariant epsilon Abstract: Sitting at the intersection of 4-dimensional topology and knot theory, the knot concordance group is an important object in low-dimensional topology whose structure is not yet fully explored and understood. One approach to study knot concordance is to use knot Floer homology, introduced by

Title: Some recent results on L_p-theory for equations with singular and degenerate coefficients Abstract: We consider classes of elliptic and parabolic equations whose coefficients are singular or degenerate of the porotype $x_d^\alpha$ on the domain $\{x_d >0\}, where $\alpha$ is a real number. Two boundary conditions on \{x_d =0\}$ are studied: the homogeneous Diritchlet boundary

TITLE: Variations of the sharp interfaces in multiphase problems - Part II ABSTRACT: We will continue with the discussion in Part I and derive the first and second variations of the nonpolar solvation energy of an implicit solvation model. Then in combining with some basic tools from Calculus of Variations, we will study the variations
