Valentino Tosatti, NYU K3 surfaces are a class of compact complex manifolds that enjoys many special properties and play an important role in several areas of mathematics. I will discuss a new interplay between the geometry of K3 surfaces equipped with their Calabi-Yau metrics, and dynamics of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of these…

Eric Cytrynbaum, UBC In this talk, I’ll discuss two recent lines of research in my group, related by the common element of being a multiscale problem of spatial organization. (1) For over a century, the development and replacement of reptile teeth has been of interest in comparative anatomy and evolutionary biology due to the…

Antoine Song, Caltech Minimal surfaces are surfaces which locally minimize the area, and are a classical topic in Differential Geometry. This talk is going to be about minimal surfaces in Hilbert spheres. I will motivate their study by explaining how these objects provide a new way to understand fundamental results like Mostow's…

B. Sury, Indian Statistical Institute Bangalore, India The classical Diophantine problem of determining which integers can be written as a sum of two rational cubes has a long history, from early works of Sylvester, Satg\´{e}, Selmer etc. and, up to recent work of Alp\”{o}ge-Bhargava-Shnidman. A conjecture attributed to Sylvester…

Bernard Leclerc Université de Caen, France   Real or Imaginary? These contrasting notions appear in several places in mathematics. Real or imaginary numbers, real or imaginary quadratic fields, real or imaginary roots in a root system ... In this talk I will consider new items in this list: real or imaginary…

Jian-Guo Liu, Duke University  Motivated by a study of least-action incompressible flows, we study all of the ways that a given convex body in Euclidean space can break into countably many pieces that move away from each other rigidly at constant velocity. Assuming they satisfy a least-action principle from optimal…
