Double DE Seminar: Nonuniqueness of Leray--Hopf solutions to the unforced incompressible 3D Navier--Stokes Equation
Yixuan Wang and Changhe Yang (Caltech)
The nonuniqueness of Leray--Hopf solutions to the unforced incompressible 3D Navier--Stokes equations is one of the central open problems in...
Student Algebraic Geometry: Quivers
Ritwick Bhargava
A quiver is simply a directed graph, and a quiver representation is an assignment of a vector space to each vertex and a linear map to each...

Twists, Higher Dimer Covers, and Web Duality for Grassmannian Cluster Algebras (Combinatorics)
Gregg Musiker -- University of Minnesota
We study a twisted version of Fraser, Lam, and Le's higher boundary measurement map, using face weights instead of edge weights,...
Algebraic Geometry Learning Seminar: Irrationality of cubic fourfolds
Saket Shah
Explain the proof that very general cubic fourfolds are irrational.
Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Intersection theory of Noether-Lefschetz cycles on A_g
Aitor Iribar Lopez (ETH Zurich)
Abelian varieties with elliptic subgroups provide cycles on the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. Even though the...
Optimal Transport and Informed Trading
Lu Vy, UM Math
We investigate applications of optimal transport theory to Kyle–Back models. First, we introduce a general methodology for constructing...
AIM Seminar: Edge States on Sharply Joined Photonic Crystals
Wei Li (DePaul University)
