Contact instantons and entanglement of Legendrian links
We introduce a conformally invariant nonlinear sigma model on the bulk of contact manifolds with boundary condition on the Legendrian links in any odd dimension. We call any finite energy solution a contact instanton. We also explain its Ha...
The Mathematics of the Bose Gas and its Condensation
Since Bose and Einstein discovered the condensation of Bose gas, which we now call Bose-Einstein condensation, its mathematical properties have been of great importance for mathematical physics. Recently, many rigorous results have been obta...
We consider the problem of identifying the material properties from boundary measurements. For the conductivity case, this is known as Calderon problem: “Is it possible to determine the electrical conductivity inside a domain from the bounda...
Role of Computational Mathematics and Image Processing in Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT)
Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) is a late medical imaging modality visualizing static conductivity images of electrically conducting subjects. When we inject current into the object, it produces internal distributi...
학부생을 위한 강연회: Tipping Point Analysis and Influence Maximization in Social Networks
Diffusion of information, rumors or epidemics via various social networks has been extensively studied for decades. In particular, Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos (KDD '03) proposed the general threshold model, a generalization of many mathemat...
Connectedness of a zero-level set as a geometric estimate for parabolic PDEs
Studies on PDEs are mostly focused on ?nding properties of PDEs within a speci?c discipline and on developing a technique specialized to them. However, ?nding a common structure over di?erent disciplines and unifying theories from di?erent s...
Normal form reduction for unconditional well-posedness of canonical dispersive equations
Normal form method is a classical ODE technique begun by H. Poincare. Via a suitable transformation one reduce a differential equation to a simpler form, where most of nonresonant terms are cancelled. In this talk, I begin to explain the not...
The notion of essential dimension was introduced by Buhler and Reichstein in the late 90s. Roughly speaking, the essential dimension of an algebraic object is the minimal number of algebraically independent parameters one needs to define the...
The process of mathematical modelling for complex and stochastic biological systems
The revolution of molecular biology in the early 1980s has revealed complex network of non-linear and stochastic biochemical interactions underlying biological systems. To understand this complex system, mathematical models have been widely ...
On function field and smooth specialization of a hypersurface in the projective space
In this talk, we will discuss two interesting problems on hypersurfaces in the projective space. The first one is the absolute Galois theory on the function field of a very general hypersurface in the projective space. The other one is the c...
Towards Trustworthy Scientific Machine Learning: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications
Machine learning (ML) has achieved unprecedented empirical success in diverse applications. It now has been applied to solve scientific problems, which has become an emerging field, Scientific Machine Learning (SciML). Many ML techniques, h...
Equations defining algebraic curves and their tangent and secant varieties
It is a fundamental problem in algebraic geometry to study equations defining algebraic curves. In 1984, Mark Green formulated a famous conjecture on equations defining canonical curves and their syzygies. In early 2000's, Claire Voisin...
A feature of log-correlation naturally appears in diverse objects such as random matrices, random discrete geometries and Riemann zeta function. In this talk, I will give an overview on the theory of log-correlated fields and talk about rec...
