Events for 04/25/2017 from all calendars

Shubin Fu, dissertation defense

Time: 08:30AM - 10:30AM

Location: Blocker 612

Speaker: Shubin Fu

Free Probability Seminar

Time: 09:30AM - 10:30AM

Location: BLOC 602

Speaker: Mike Brannan, Texas A&M University

Title: Moment formulas on orthogonal groups

Abstract: We continue with some discussion of Dahlqvist's paper on moment formulas for the Brownian motion on orthogonal groups. The plan is to just do some low order moment calculations for standard coordinates on O_n with respect to the heat kernel measure and state a conjectural formula for the large n limit behavior.  

Working Seminar on Banach and Metric Spaces

Time: 10:00AM - 11:00AM

Location: BLOC 220

Speaker: Gilles Lancien, Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté

Title: On coarse embeddability of the Hilbert space into Banach spaces

Abstract: We will show that there exists an infinite dimensional Banach X such that l₂ does not coarsely embed into X. Joint work with F. Baudier and Th. Schlumprecht.

Wing Tat Leung, dissertation defense

Time: 10:00AM - 12:00PM

Location: Blocker 612

Speaker: Wing Tat Leung

Analysis/PDE Reading Seminar

Time: 11:10AM - 12:25PM

Location: Bloc628

Speaker: Vitaly Moroz, Swansea University

Title: Variational methods in nonlinear elliptic problems

Abstract: We discuss variational approach to nonlinear elliptic equations on bounded and unbounded domains. In particular, we prove existence, positivity and in some cases radial symmetry of the ground-state solutions. Topics include: Sobolev and Poincare inequalities, Rellich-Kondrachov theorem, Pohozaev identity, constrained minimization.

Zhidong Zhang, dissertation defense
