Fire blight is a bacterial plant disease that affects apple and pear trees. We present a mathematical model for its spread in an orchard during bloom (sometimes referred to as blossom blight). This is a PDE-ODE coupled system, consisting of two...

This will be an in-person version of a Zoom workshop to be given at Grad and Postdoc Studies in December. It is open to all grad students and postdocs, not just those on the job market this year. Please come, learn, ask questions afterwards and give...

This talk will present a novel discretization scheme for Wasserstein gradient flows (i.e. curves of steepest descent for functions of probability measures) based on the successive computation of Schrödinger bridges with equal marginals. In doing so...

Bounds on the logarithmic derivative and the reciprocal of the Riemann zeta function are studied as they have a wide range of applications, such as computing bounds for Mertens function. In this talk, we are mainly concerned with explicit bounds...

The Riemann zeta function is a fundamental function in number theory. The study of zeros of the zeta function has important applications in studying the distribution of the prime numbers. Riemann hypothesis conjectures that all non-trivial zeros lie...

Motivic cohomology is a cohomology theory that can be defined internally within Grothendieck's category of motives. Voevodsky developed this theory for smooth varieties, demonstrating its profound connections to algebraic cycles and algebraic K...

David Vogan's 1993 paper on the local Langlands correspondence showed that there are advantages to simultaneously considering representations of a p-adic group together with its pure inner forms. Combined with other insights, this opened the door to...

In practice, L-functions appear as generating functions encapsulating information about various objects, such as Galois representations, elliptic curves, arithmetic functions, modular forms, Maass forms, etc. Studying L-functions is therefore of...

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph of order n. The adjacency matrix of G is denoted by A(G) = [a_ij], where a_ij=1 if {v_i ,v_j} ∈ E and a_ij=0, otherwise. The diagonal matrix of degrees of G, D(G) = [d_ij], is defined by d_ii=d(v_i), and d_ij=0, ∀ i...

Automorphic representations, which provide a vast generalization of modular forms, are are grouped together into so-called L-packets according to the L-functions they produce. From this point of view, automorphic representations give a kind of fine...
