Abstract: This presentation is dedicated to describing the complete integrability of the Benjamin–Ono (BO) equation on the line when restricted to every N-soliton manifold, denoted by UN . We construct (generalized) action–angle coordinates which...

Abstract:
The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) provides a general framework for a wide range of combinatorial problems. The simplest way to state the problem is: Given relational structures (say, graphs) G and H, decide if there is a...

Abstract. The mathematical modelling of metastasis is a challenge. The occurrence of metastasis is basically random, and the role of the immune response is not at all clear. In this talk I will discuss two models, one for the spatial spread of...

Molecular interactions lie at the core of biochemistry and biology, and their understanding is crucial to the advancement of biotechnology, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Most existing tools make “ensemble” measurements and report a single result...

Abstract: Random high-density packings of 2x2 tiles on the square lattice Abstract: Consider random configurations of disjoint 2x2 tiles positioned in integer coordinates in a bounded domain in R², where the probability for the appearance of a...

Harary and Sabidussi were the first to study the automorphisms of repeated graphs using the wreath product. Later Hemminger would go on to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for these of repeated automorphisms through the introduction of...

Abstract: In this talk I will outline the geometric ingredients of smooth compactifications of the heterotic string. This includes an SU(3) structure manifold (for example, a Calabi-Yau threefold) and a holomorphic, Mumford poly-stable vector bundle...

Abstract: How to apply the mathematical theory of probability to real world problems? Interpretations of "what is probability" have led to the Bayesian and frequentist schools. In very elementary terms, I try to show how Gibbs' theory stitches...

Recent progress in model theory is changing our understanding of how the finite and infinite interact. One aspect of this story has to do with the emerging appearance of complexity in so-called simple unstable theories, which provide a model...

A two-stage enrichment design is a type of adaptive design, which extends a stratified design with a futility analysis on the marker negative cohort at the first stage, and the second stage can be either a targeted design with only the marker...
