Summer School on Seismic Imaging
In exploration or reflection seismology, seismic imaging creates images of the Earth's upper crust using seismic waves generated by artificial sources and recorded into extensive arrays of sensors (geophones or hydrophones). The technology is  more››

Classification problems in algebraic geometry
This talk will attempt to give a survey (for non-experts) of a few of the many fascinating problems and results concerning moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, and in particular some moduli spaces associated to the simplest objects of algebraic ge  more››

Mappings of finite distortion: analysis in the extreme
Degenerate structures arise naturally in many questions in PDE's and calculus of variations as well as in their applications. Mappings of finite distortion study how far the powerful tools of geometric analysis can here reach; the theory of these  more››

Making a Splash, Breaking a Neck: The development of complexity in physical systems
The fundamental laws of physics are very simple. They can be written on the top half of an ordinary piece of paper. The world about us is very complex. Whole libraries hardly serve to describe it. Indeed, any living organism exhibits a degree of c  more››

The Good, the Bad, and the Awful: Scientific Simulation and Prediction
Worthwhile computer simulations are done to explore uncharted territory, resolve a well-posed scientific or technical question, or to make a design choice. Some excellent work is reviewed. Some less happy stories are recounted. I th  more››

Eigenvalue Problem and a New Product in Cohomology of Flag Varieties
This is a report on my joint work with P. Belkale. We define a new commutative and associative product in the cohomology of any flag variety G/P (which still satisfies the Poincaré duality) and use this product to generate certain inequalities wh  more››

Non-reductive group actions and symplectic implosion
Given a linear action of a complex reductive group on a projective variety X, geometric invariant theory provides us with an open subset of X (the set of stable points) which has a well-behaved quotient, and a compactification of this quotie  more››

Going with Flow and Updating Ocean Models
Much data in the ocean come from Lagrangian instruments that float or drift. Mathematical issues arise from the need to assimilate these and other data into ocean models.  more››

The sharp isoperimetric inequality on minimal submanifolds
We will describe the history of the conjecture that the isoperimetric inequality with the Rn constant should hold for a domain on a minimal submanifold of dimension n in Euclidean space. We will then describe a new method which pr  more››
