Francis Su’s Colloquium

Colloquium Thursday, April 20, 2023 The presentation will begin at 11:00 AM in 301 Gordon Palmer Hall. Francis Su Harvey Mudd College Title: Sperner's Lemma: Old and New Abstract: Sperner’s Lemma is perhaps best known as a combinatorial equivalent of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. In this talk, I’ll survey old and new proofs of

Abba Ramadan’s Colloquium

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

Title: Stability of Nonlinear Waves in Hamiltonian PDE Abstract: Nonlinear dispersive wave equations arise as reduced mathematical models from governing equations of mathematical physics, such as the Navier-Stokes and Maxwell equations. These reduced models combine the leading-order balance between nonlinear and dispersive effects present in wave propagation. The existence and stability of coherent structures such

Galentine’s Night (AWM)- February 15th, 2024 at 5:30pm in GP 234.

234 Gordon Palmer Hall AL, United States

Looking for something fun to do during Valentine's week? We've got you covered.   AWM is hosting a Galentine's Origami night on February 15th, 2024 at 5:30pm in GP 234.   We will explore the art of paper folding to create beautiful and romantic origami pieces. All materials will be provided as well as snacks,

Applied Math Seminar- Professor Lynn Schryer

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

Speaker: Lynn Schreyer (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Washington State University) Title: Compartment Models with Memory Abstract: The beauty and simplicity of compartment modeling makes it a useful approach for simulating dynamics in an amazingly wide range of applications, including pharmacokinetics (where e.g. a liver is considered a compartment), global carbon cycling (different depths of soils

Colloquium: Dr. Linquan Ma (Purdue University)

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

Refreshments 10:30AM GP 301 The presentation will begin at 11:00 AM in 346 Gordon Palmer Hall.   Title: Homological conjectures and singularities in mixed characteristic Abstract: The homological conjectures have been a focus of research in commutative algebra since the 1960s. They concern a number of interrelated conjectures concerning homological properties of commutative rings to

Colloquium: Steve Hofmann (University of Missouri)

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

Analysis Seminar: Lukas Bundrock (University of Alabama)

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

Title: Geometric Optimization of the Robin Eigenvalue Problem in the Complement of a Bounded Set Abstract: We consider the Laplace operator under Robin boundary conditions in the complement of a compact set. In contrast to bounded domains, the spectrum here is not purely discrete. We characterize the discrete spectrum using an appropriate Steklov Eigenvalue problem, with the peculiarity

Analysis Seminar: Pablo Hidalgo-Palencia (ICMAT, Madrid).

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

Title: Connections between geometry and PDE in sets with poor connectivity. Abstract: How irregular can the boundary of a domain be if we still want nice PDE properties to hold? To answer this (apparently geometric/PDE) question, many authors have shown in the last 50 years that Harmonic Analysis plays a crucial role if we want
