Past Events

I will start by introducing the classical Lotka-Volterra model, a dynamical system describing predator – prey interaction. This simple system is one of the cornerstones of mathematical ecology.

Professor Kassel is from Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimer’s and parkinson’s are devastating dementia conditions with poorly understood mechanisms and no known cures.

I will explain a notion of arithmetic equidistribution that has recently found application in the study of complex dynamical systems.  It was first introduced about 25 years ago, by Szpiro-…

The classical Liouville theorem says that if a harmonic function on the plane is bounded then it is a constant.

We will discuss geometrical and analytic properties of zero sets of harmonic functions and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator.

Abstract: I will discuss results relating different partially wrapped Fukaya categories.

Percolation models describe the inside of a porous material.

Abstract: The partially wrapped Fukaya category is a very interesting invariant of non-compact symplectic manifolds.

Abstract: There exist continuous finite group actions on three-manifolds which are not smoothable, in the sense that they are not smooth with respect to any smooth structure.…

 In honor of Amir Dembo's 60th Birthday, organizers from Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, and Cambridge will bring 30 invited speakers to campus for this very special event honoring our…

I will survey some recent results on the boundary rigidity problem and the marketed  length spectrum rigidity in negative curvature (Anosov case) and explain how analytic methods manage to…

Professor Guillarmou will explain how new techniques coming from harmonic and microlocal analysis allow one to give a sense to a discrete spectrum for flows with hyperbolicity, and some…

Why do natural and interesting sequences often turn out to be log-concave?
