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

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: A zero surgery obstruction from involutive Heegaard Floer homology Abstract: A fundamental result in 3-manifold topology due to Lickorish and Wallace says that every closed, oriented, connected 3-manifold can be obtained by surgery on a link in the 3-sphere. One may therefore ask: which 3-manifolds can be obtained by surgery on a link with

ZoomTitle: Friezes, Quiver Representations and Cluster Theory Abstract: After cluster algebras were introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky, there were many new connections found among many fields of mathematics: combinatorics, representation theory, quiver representations, non-commutative algebra, poisson theory and much more. Friezes were introduced by Conway and Coxeter as a very combinatorial notion. Since the introduction of cluster

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

ZoomTitle: Poincare Inequalities and Neumann Problems for the p(.) Laplacian Abstract: In this talk, we discuss an established result proving an equivalence between weighted Poincare inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a family of Neumann problems related to a degenerate p-Laplacian. We then extend this result to the variable exponent setting. We also
