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…

This year's Distinguished Burton Jones lecture will be given by Professor Dessislava Kochloukova from State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) on May 8th at 4:00 p.m. in Skye Hall 284. Please join us for tea before the lecture at 3:30 p.m. and for the reception afterwards. Dessislava Kochloukova, State University of Campinas…

Yuri Berest, Cornell University In 1982, I. G. Macdonald published a series of beautiful  combinatorial conjectures related to classical root systems (or equivalently, compact Lie groups). These conjectures were in the focus of research in representation theory and geometry for over 30 years. In the early 1990s,…
