Mathematical Conversations

Noninterpenetration of Matter and the Lavrentiev Phenomenon
John Ball
6:00pm|Simons Hall Dilworth Room

I will describe a simply stated and longstanding open problem connected to the invertibility of deformations in nonliear elasticity, and how attempts to solve it led to surprising one-dimensional examples of $1D$ problems of the calculus of...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Lecture

The Statistical Physics of Flocks and Swarms
Irene Giardina
6:00pm|McDonnell Hall, A-02

Abstract: Flocks and swarms are iconic examples of living matter, in which motile, interacting individuals give rise to emergent global patterns. Despite the complexity of their biological components, these groups obey robust statistical laws and...

Polytopes and $C^0$-Riemannian Metrics with Positive Topological Entropy
Marcelo Alves
9:15am|Remote Access

The topological entropy of geodesic flows has been extensively studied since the foundational works of Dinaburg and Manning. It measures the exponential complexity of the geodesic flow of a Riemannian manifold, and there are several results...
