A process Y is a factor of a process X if it can be written as Y=F(X) for some function F which commutes with translations. The factor is finitary if Y_0 is almost surely determined by some finite portion of the input X. Given a process Y, the...

We compute extreme values of the Riemann Zeta function at the critical points of the zeta function in the critical strip. i.e. the points where ζ′(s)=0 and Rs1. We show that the values taken by the zeta function at these points are very similar to...

We apply and extend the renormalisation group method developed by Bauerschmidt, Brydges and Slade to analyse near-critical finite-size scaling for the 4-dimensional n-component hierarchical |ϕ| 4 model, for all n=1,2,3,… In particular, we compute the...

We propose an extension of the well-known Klausmeier model of vegetation to two plant species that consume water at different rates. Rather than competing directly, the plants compete through their intake of water, which is a shared resource between...

The Non Linear Schrodinger Equation is a canonical example of a dispersive PDE that can also display stable, spatially localized solutions called solitons. Invariant measures for the flow of the equation have been used to study not only the well...

Optimal transportation, at its core, is a powerful framework for obtaining structured yet general couplings between general probability measures based on matching underlying characteristics. This framework lends itself naturally to applications in...

The speaker will discuss the Four-Color Theorem and some of the outstanding problems left open after the proof.

Biological systems often give rise to systems of first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Linearization then yields a system x' = Ax, where A is the community matrix. By contrast, mechanical systems often give rise to a second order ODE...

Data-driven modeling refers to the use of measurement data to infer the parameters and structure of a mathematical model. Motivated by problems in collective cell biology, this talk will explore algorithms which automate the map from experimental...
