230 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, AL, United StatesTitle: Understanding BMO and VMO using elliptic systems in the upper-half space Abstract: Harmonic Analysis plays a fundamental role in the study of boundary value problems for elliptic operators. In the simplest case of the Laplacian in the upper half-space, the Dirichlet boundary value problem with data in BMO (i.e., having bounded mean oscillation) is solved

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Sobolev contractivity of the gradient flow maximal function Abstract: In 2013, Carneiro and Svaiter showed that the heat flow maximal function is contractive in $\dot{W}^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ for $W^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ functions. In other words, if $K_t$ is the heat kernel then $u_*(x) = \sup_{t > 0} (K_t \ast |f|)(x)$ for some $f \in W^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ then $\|\nabla u_*\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)}
Algebra/Topology Seminar – Dan Rutherford (Ball State University)
ZoomTitle: Normal rulings, augmentations, and the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial Abstract: Normal rulings are certain decompositions of front diagrams of Legendrian links in $R^3$ that were discovered independently by Chekanov & Pushkar and Fuchs in the context of generating families and augmentations of the Legendrian DG-algebra respectively. They can be used to define combinatorial invariants of
