Abstract The cohesive movement of a biological population is a commonly observed natural phenomenon. With the advent of platforms of unmanned vehicles, such phenomena have attracted a renewed interest from the engineering community. This talk will...

This talk will discuss mathematical problems which are challenged by the fact they involve functions of a very large number of variables. Such problems arise naturally in learning theory, partial differential equations or numerical models depending...

Abstract: Where should one look to find bases satisfying strong uncertainty relations? Position and momentum lead the way: it's hard to do better than any orthonormal basis and its Fourier transform. The natural generalization to so-called mutually...

Topological phases of matter have captured our imagination over the past few years, with tantalizing properties such as robust edge modes and exotic non-Abelian excitations, and potential applications ranging from semiconductor spintronics to...

Given a sequence of roots, one can construct a corresponding Bott-Samelson variety. These varieties are basic tools in representation theory and geometry of G/P's; for instance, the Bott-Samelson varieties corresponding to reduced sequences resolve...
