Talk Abstract:

How neurons detect the direction of motion is a prime example of neural computation: Motion vision is found in the visual systems of virtually all sighted animals, it is important for survival, and it requires interesting computations...

There are several ways to define when two subsets of $R^{2n}$ are symplectically equivalent. We will discuss when some of these notions coincide and present somewhat surprising examples showing that they need not coincide in general. Based on joint...

In their resolution of the 3D Kakeya conjecture, Wang and Zahl studied collections of tubes satisfying Convex Wolff axioms. I will discuss a variant of their approach, giving a simpler argument in 3D and that can be extended to collections of convex...
