Tableaux are fundamental objects in representation theory and combinatorics, and variations of the Schensted algorithm have endowed them with rich algebraic structures. In this talk I will discuss a naive monoid structure on the set of semistandard...

In theoretical population biology, the study of steady-states, persistence and other long-term dynamics are often made the focal point. Undoubtedly this focus has led to many key biological insights, but certain questions pertaining to dynamics that...

A standard way of presenting a group is to choose a collection of generators and then to specify a list of relations that must be satisfied. These are not always optimal: sometimes there are non-trivial identities among the relations. For example...

Solving differential problems using full order models (FOMs), such as the finite element method, can results in prohibitive computational costs, particularly in real-time simulations and multi-query routines. Surrogate modeling aims to replace FOMs...

The inverse eigenvalue problem has played a central role in spectral graph theory in the last decade. In this talk, I shall be interested in a particular parameter, namely the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues of a graph G, i.e., in the minimum...

I will give a (necessarily woefully incomplete) introduction to the measure classification paradigm in homogenous dynamics, and discuss one source of invariant measures and application of this paradigm: the Quantum Unique Ergodicity problem.

We consider isogenies on Jacobians J of genus 3 curves with a kernel that is a maximal isotropic subgroup of the 2-torsion J[2] and confront a phenomenon that is new in genus 3: for genus 1 and 2 the codomain is generally again a Jacobian of a curve...

Let $T$ be a tree in which no vertex has degree $2$. A Halin graph is a planar graph obtained by connecting all leaves of $T$ into a cycle in their planar order. The idea of universal originates from a question of John W. Moon (1965). Consider all...

Immune cells perform exquisite feats of collective organization, assembling into tissues that can shapeshift to meet functional demands. Dispersed, gas-like immune cells surveil tissues for threats; liquid-like germinal centers enable the rapid...
