Let G be a compact connected Lie group act on a topological space X in such a way that all isotropy subgroups are connected and of maximal rank. In this talk we provide a criterion to determine when K_{G}^{*}(X) is free over the representation ring R...

What dynamic processes are responsible for the development of complex body plans? I will approach this from a chemical perspective, looking at what types of dynamics can form spatial concentration patterns. I will discuss two areas in which we are...

This is a continuation on the topic of cyclic homology

Flagellated bacteria, such as E. Coli, propel themselves using multiple flagella – long, thin helical filaments – that are rotated using nanoscale motors. We will discuss a few aspects of the fluid mechanics associated with bacterial motility...

In this talk I shall sketch some results Oliver Riordan of Oxford and I have obtained on critical probabilities in percolation. Recently, Scullard and Ziff noticed that a broad class of planar percolation models are self-dual under a simple condition...

This talk considers the conjeture that $\sum_{n

Abstract Bosonic many-body models are an important class of mathematical models that are used to study gases of bosonic particles at very low temperatures. I will introduce (i) the physical systems, (ii) one way Physicists formulate the models in...
