The Bloch-Kato-Milnor conjecture relates Galois cohomology to Milnor K-theory of fields. A celebrated proof of this result was furnished by Voevodsky. Motivic cohomology and Rost's norm varieties are key ingredients. They were tailored specifically...

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays are a standard approach for quantifying kinetic parameters in antibody-antigen binding reactions. Classical SPR approaches ignore the bivalent structure of antibodies, and use simplified ODE models to estimate...

Methane's short lifespan, high Global Warming Potential, and high anthropogenic emissions level make it the most potent greenhouse gas in terms of rapidly reducing global warming. The oil and gas sector is the most significant contributor to methane...

Hopf algebras are algebras for which one can form the tensor product of two representations. In more abstract terms, this means that their representation category is a tensor category, and all additional required properties of this tensor category...

Equivariant elliptic cohomology generalizes from equivariant cohomology and equivariant K-theory. It has a rich structure and connections to quantum groups, mathematical physics, enumerative geometry, and algebraic combinatorics. Recently, Okounkov...

In a linear population model that has a unique “largest” eigenvalue and is suitably irreducible, the corresponding left and right (Perron) eigenvectors determine the long-term relative prevalence and reproductive value of different types of...

In this talk we introduce the mathematical setup for diffraction via the Fourier transform of tempered distributions. We cover some examples with pure point spectrum and discuss the connection between pure point spectrum and almost periodicity.

In this talk, I will review some different notions of principal eigenvalues, their qualitative properties and applications in some long time dynamics of Fisher-KPP equations with nonlocal dispersals including the time-periodic case.

This conference will explore connections between dynamical systems and algebraic geometry, with an emphsis on connections between Teichmüller dynamics and Hodge theory. Confirmed speakers Dawei Chen, Boston College/IAS. Matteo Costantini, Universität...

The minimization of a relative entropy (with respect to the Wiener measure) is a very old problem which dates back to Schrödinger. C. Léonard has between this problem and the Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost (namely the standard Optimal...
