John Bush - MIT Date/Time/Location Thursday, September 29th, 2:00pm; Hill Center 425 "Hydrodynamic quantum analogs" In 2005, Yves Couder and Emmanuel Fort discovered that droplets walking on a vibrating fluid bath exhibit several features previously thought to be exclusive to

Bhargav Narayanan - Rutgers University Date/Time/Location Tuesday, September 22nd, 12:00pm; Hill Center 705 "Friendly Bisections of Random Graphs" We prove that with high probability, the random graph G(n,1/2) on an even number of vertices admits a partition of its vertex

Alex Kontorovich - Rutgers University Date/Time/Location Tuesday, September 8th, 12:00pm; Hill Center 705 "Length Spectra of Hyperbolic Surfaces" We'll take a scenic tour of the topics in the title, where there is a rich and natural interplay of dynamics, geometry,

Soeren Petrat - Jacobs University Date/Time/Location Thursday, April 1st, 12:00pm; Hill Center 705 “Asymptotic Expansions for Weakly Interacting Bosons" I will give a summary of recent results on asymptotic expansions for non-relativistic bosons in the mean-field limit. These expansions are

Natasa Sesum - Rutgers University Date/Time/Location Thursday, March 31st, 12:00pm; Hill Center 705 " Ancient solutions to geometric flows" I will discuss ancient solutions in geometric flows, such as the Ricci flow or the Mean Curvature flow. I will discuss

Stefano Olla Université Paris-Dauphine-PSL and GSSI-L'Aquila Title: Heat flow in a system in contact with a thermal bath subjected to periodic forcing Abstract: We investigate the properties of a harmonic chain in contact at its left end with a thermal

Sagun Chanillo - Rutgers University Date/Time/Location Thursday, February 24th, 12:00pm; Hill Center 705 " Geometric Wave Equations and Random data " We will introduce two types of wave equations whose elliptic parts arise from Geometric problems, the problem of uniformization

Abstract: Motivated by our study of the asymptotic stability of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, Xukai Yan and I established anisotropic interpolation inequalities which generalize and improve the classical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. Our anisotropic interpolation inequalities also generalize and improve the

ABSTRACT: Equidistribution of billiards in some (finite) polygons is a very active field of research. First we talk about our new results in this field. Then we switch to the other class of billiards in infinite polygons of finite area

Abstract: Proving a 2009 conjecture of Itai Benjamini, we show: For any C there is c > 0 so that for any simple random walk on an n-vertex graph G, the probability that the first Cn steps of the walk
