Mode: In-Person Title: Nodal sets of eigenfunctions of sub-Laplacians Abstract: Nodal sets of eigenfunctions of elliptic operators on compact manifolds have been studied extensively over the past decades. In a recent work, we initiated the study of nodal sets of … Continued

Mode: In-Person Title: On positivity for flag manifolds and Hessenberg spaces Abstract: “Positivity” is a phenomenon involving the intersection of subvarieties in the presence of enough structure to ensure that intersection points are positively oriented, among other generalizations. It has … Continued
Mode:In-Person Title: Pieri formulas for the quantum K-theory of cominuscule Grassmannians Abstract: The quantum K-theory ring QK(X) of a flag variety X encodes the K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of X, defined as arithmetic genera of Gromov-Witten varieties parametrizing curves meeting fixed … Continued
Mode: In-Person Title: The geometry of scalar curvature and mass in general relativity Abstract: In general relativity, the space we inhabit is modeled by a Riemannian manifold. The fundamental restriction this theory places upon spatial geometry is a lower bound … Continued
