Analysis Seminar – Olli Saari (University of Bonn)

Zoom

Title: On the weak differentiability of the fractional maximal function Abstract: The fractional maximal functions are comparable in Lp size to the Riesz potentials of same order. Its smoothing properties are however more subtle. In this talk, I will discuss Sobolev regularity of fractional maximal functions on the Euclidean n-space as well as on bounded

Algebra/Topology Seminar – Marco Trombetti (University of Naples Federico II)

Title: Abstract Infinite Group Theory in Linear Groups. Abstract: It is a classical result that the commutator subgroup of a group $G$ is finite whenever such is the factor group $G/Z(G)$. In general, this result cannot be reverted: there are (soluble) groups with a finite commutator subgroup but an infinite factor over the centre. However,

Colloquium – Frédéric Gibou (University of California, Santa Barbara)

Zoom

Title: Free Boundary Problem: Challenges and Applications Abstract: There exists a wide range of modern and important physical and Biological phenomena that are described as free boundary problems. The difficulty in solving them stems from the fact that the solution depends on a boundary that evolves in time, at which boundary conditions must be imposed

AWM Talk Series – Dr. Tania Hazra (Misericordia University)

Zoom

The speaker is UA Alumna, Dr. Tania Hazra, an assistant professor at Misericordia University. This talk will discuss some innovative ideas for teaching during Coronavirus pandemic. Topic: AWM Talk Series Part I with Dr. Tanya Hazra Time: Oct 19, 2020 03:30 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

Analysis Seminar – Alejandro Vélez-Santiago (University of Puerto Rico)

Zoom

Title: The Robin problem over irregular domains   Abstract: We will discuss the solvability and global regularity theory for the Laplace equation with Robin boundary conditions over classes of irregular domains which include non-Lipschitz domains and domains with fractal boundaries.

Algebra/Topology Seminar – JungHwan Park (Georgia Institute of Technology)

Zoom

Title: On rationally slice knots Abstract: A knot in the three-sphere is called slice if it bounds a smooth disk in the four-ball. If one only requires the disk to be in a rational homology four-ball, then we say that the knot is rationally slice. We present a rationally slice knot which is not slice even

Analysis Seminar – Fernando Lopez-Garcia (Cal State Poly – Pomona)

Zoom

Title: A local-to-global method for inequalities in weighted Sobolev spaces. Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss a certain local-to-global technique with applications to inequalities in weighted Sobolev spaces, such as fractional Poincaré-type inequalities and Korn and conformal Korn inequalities. This technique is based on a certain decomposition of functions that extends the validity of the inequalities

Algebra/Topology Seminar – Dan Rutherford (Ball State University)

Zoom

Title:  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

Colloquium – Mariel Vazquez (University of California at Davis)

Zoom

Dr. Mariel Vazquez                 Title: Understanding viruses using topological methods Abstract: For the last 25 years I have studied the effects of DNA packaging as well as the action of DNA binding enzymes responsible for important cellular processes such as DNA replication, or transcription of DNA into RNA.
