Alyssa Spoonts from the UNC Graduate Funding Information Center (GFIC) will lead this workshop designed to help grad students in Mathematics find and apply for funding. Topics that will be covered include: using funding databases to find funding opportunities, dos and don'ts of successful applications, and understanding the funding … Read more
Title: The Prehistory of the Hardy Inequality Abstract: The famous classical Hardy Inequality dates back to a 1920 paper by G.H. Hardy. Hardy-Type inequalities provide a powerful tool utilized in modern analysis with many interesting applications. For example, they are … Read more
Title: An Introduction to Incompressible Nonlinear Solid Mechanics Abstract: This talk will survey the basics of Solid Mechanics and the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the numerical solution of the associated PDE's. We will focus on Finite Strain theory, which … Read more
Title: The additive eigenvalue problem and the saturated tensor problem. Abstract: The Hermitean eigenvalue problem, originating with the work of Weyl in 1912, is concerned with determining the possible eigenvalues of the sum of two Hermitean matrices with prescribed eigenvalues. … Read more
Title: From Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials to Springer fibers of type D Abstract: In the first part of this talk I will define parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of type D with respect to a maximal parabolic of type A and explain how to explicitly compute … Read more
Title: Non-Newtonian fluids: a snotty presentation Abstract: Fluids are an integral part of everyday life, from the coffee you drink in the morning to the wind rustling in the trees to the bar you attend at night. But not all … Read more
Title: An introduction to Cobordism. Abstract: The classification of manifolds has long been an active area of research. One of the many techniques developed was cobordism, first introduced by Poincare. Pontrjagin and Thom then connected this to the stable … Read more
Title: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model of in vitro left ventricle model Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death are the leading cause of death in the U.S. In 2013, CVD accounted for more than 17.3 million deaths globally, and … Read more
Title: Fluid-Construction of the Hadamard Parametrix for the Wave Operator on a Riemannian Manifold Abstract: A common object of interest in the study of PDEs is the fundamental solution of a differential operator. A fundamental solution allows one to invert the differential … Read more
Title: Limiting dynamics of Metropolis-Hastings algorithm applied to n-vector spin model Abstract: The n-vector spin model is a simple system of interacting spins on a crystalline lattice with a Hamiltonian given by the interaction of nearest neighbors. The corresponding Gibbs distribution could … Read more
