Analysis Seminar

Elliptic measures and the geometry of domains
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Given a bounded domain $\Omega$, the harmonic measure $\omega$ is a probability measure on $\partial \Omega$ and it characterizes where a Brownian traveller moving in $\Omega$ is likely to exit the domain from. The elliptic measure is a non...

Mathematical Conversations

Harmonic measure and boundary regularity
6:00pm|Dilworth Room

Given a domain, the harmonic measure is a measure that relates any boundary function to its harmonic extension; it is also the hitting probability of the boundary for a Brownian motion moving inside the domain. We will talk about the relationship...

Theoretical Machine Learning Seminar

Rahul Kidambi
12:15pm|Princeton University, CS 302

The current era of large scale machine learning powered by Deep Learning methods has brought about tremendous advances, driven by the lightweight Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) method. Despite relying on a simple algorithmic primitive, this era...

Variational Methods in Geometry Seminar

Isoperimetry and boundaries with almost constant mean curvature
3:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We review various recent results aimed at understanding bubbling into spheres for boundaries with almost constant mean curvature. These are based on joint works with Giulio Ciraolo (U Palermo), Matias Delgadino (Imperial College London), Brian...

Min-max solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations on closed manifolds
Daniel Stern
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

We will describe recent progress on the existence theory and asymptotic analysis for solutions of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equations on closed manifolds, emphasizing connections to the existence of weak minimal submanifolds of codimension two. On...
