Stochastic and continuum modeling of protein polymer dynamics in neurons Abstract. Microtubules are protein polymers present in most cells; in neurons, microtubules are believed to be stable and to have specific orientations. This is crucial, since other key proteins get transported … Read more

Title: Perverse sheaves and resurgence. Abstract: Perverse sheaves provide a topological counterpart of regular holonomic D-modules, whose solutions are multivalued functions of certain restricted type. Now, much more general multivalued functions (on the complex plane C) have been studied in J. … Read more

Transport of nonlinear oscillations along rays that graze a convex obstacle to any order Abstract. When a wave interacts with a convex obstacle, it creates reflected waves, as well as waves in the geometric shadow of the obstacle. This phenomenon … Read more
Positive geometry Abstract. Positive geometries are topological spaces sitting inside algebraic varieties that generalize convex polytopes embedded in projective space. Examples of positive geometries appear in the study of total positivity, toric varieties, and configuration spaces. I will give a … Read more
Title: Monotone links in the DAHA and EHA Abstract: Morton and Samuelson related certain skein algebras on the torus with the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) and the elliptic Hall algebra (EHA). We use this construction to study link homology … Read more
