Past Events

**This event has been rescheduled from January 16 to February 7th** A large part of stochastic portfolio theory, as initiated by Robert Fernholz in the 1990s, is concerned with construction of practical equity portfolios that can beat the stock...

What is a game? Mathematically speaking, a game has players, strategies and scores to explain why the players win or lose. Games which are modelled with differential equations are called differential games. Common examples are pursuit-evasion games...

common rules of interaction (chemotaxis), and a biased leakage during the migration can be observed, but it remains unclear how these behaviors are achieved. The traditional Keller-Segel model is successful in modeling chemotactic migration of a...

To a finite group G and an integer q > 0 one can associate the coset-poset of nilpotent subgroups of G of nilpotency class less than q. The nerve of this poset is a simplicial complex denoted E(q,G). It is closely related to a filtration of the...

In classical q-series studies there are examples of eta quotients whose derivatives are also eta quotients. The most famous examples can be found in works of S. Ramanujan and N. Fine. In 2019, in a joint work with P. C. Toh, we have given 203 pairs...

Computational modelling can be used to reveal insights into the mechanisms of new drugs and to develop new diagnostic tools. Here I will discuss three major diseases: diabetes, hypertension, and autism. I will talk about how we construct models to...

In this talk, I will discuss a surprising connection between finite groups of Lie type and string topology of classifying spaces of compact connected Lie groups recently discovered by Jesper Grodal and myself: the cohomology of a finite group of Lie...

The notion of conformal walk dimension serves as a bridge between elliptic and parabolic Harnack inequalities. The importance of this notion is due to the fact that the finiteness of the conformal walk dimension characterizes the elliptic Harnack...

Breast cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer-related death with metastasis accounting around 90% of the total deaths. Specialized subcellular structures termed invadopodia play a critical role in metastasis, aiding tumor cell...
