Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Algorithmic Versions of Dense Model Theorems
10:30am|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

Green and Tao used the existence of a dense subset indistinguishable from the primes under certain tests from a certain class to prove the existence of arbitrarily long prime arithmetic progressions. Tao and Ziegler showed some general conditions...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

The Convergence of Bird Flocking
11:15am|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

We bound the time it takes for a group of birds to reach steady state in a standard flocking model. We prove that (i) within single exponential time fragmentation ceases and each bird settles on a fixed flying direction; (ii) the flocking network...

Workshop on Geometric Partial Differential Equations

12:00am
Simonyi Hall Seminar Room

A five day workshop focused on the theory of nonlinear PDEs and their applications to problems in geometry. Topics included conformal geometry, mass transportation, and free boundary problems.
