Members' Colloquium

New Effective Results Regarding the Oppenheim Conjecture and Polynomial Effective Equidistribution
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Joint work with Amir Mohammadi, Zhiren Wang, and Lei Yang

Let Q be an indefinite ternary quadratic form. In the 1980s Margulis proved the longstanding Oppenheim Conjecture, stating that unless Q is proportional to an integral form, the set of values...

Evolution of Coherent Structures in Incompressible Flows
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In this talk, we will explore recent developments in the study of coherent structures evolving by incompressible flows. Our focus will be on the behavior of fluid interfaces and vortex filaments. We include the dynamics of gravity Stokes interfaces...

Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Duality of the Navier-Stokes Dynamics and Lack of Finite-Time Explosion
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

We reduce the solution of the Navier-Stokes (NS) equation in infinite Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension to a one-dimensional singular problem. Assuming rough initial data, characterized by a Gaussian distribution around an arbitrary velocity...

Absolute Continuity of the Robin Harmonic Measure On Rough Domains
Guy David
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The question of asbolute continuity, with respect to the reference measure, of the harmonic measure on a domain with rough boundary has been the object of many important results. Here we ask about the similar question, but where the Dirichlet...

Members' Colloquium

Challenges and Breakthroughs in the Mathematics of Plasmas
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

This colloquium will explore some fundamental issues in the mathematics of plasmas, focusing on the stability and instability of solutions to Vlasov-type equations, which are crucial for describing the behavior of charged particles in a plasma. A...
