Members’ Seminar

Patching and Local-Global Principles
2:00pm|S-101

Patching methods are usually used to construct global objects from more local ones. On the other hand, algebraic objects can sometimes be understood from their local behavior, i.e., they satisfy a local-global principle. In this talk, we explain a...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Hamiltonian S^1 Actions with Isolated Fixed Points on 6-Dimensional Symplectic Manifolds
Andrew Fanoe
4:30pm|S-101

The question of what conditions guarantee that a symplectic circle action is Hamiltonian has been studied for many years. In 1998, Sue Tolman and Jonathon Weitsman proved that if the action is semifree and has a non-empty set of isolated fixed...

Analysis Seminar

The Incompressible Euler Equations in Lagrangian Coordinates, with Applications to Analyticity of Fluid Particle Trajectories and to Numerical Simulations
Uriel Frisch
3:15pm|S-101

As is well known, Eulerian simulations with a very small spatial mesh using an explicit scheme also require very small time steps, because the latter must be smaller than the time required to travel accross the mesh at the maximum flow velocity...
