We discuss how the closed connected 1-dimensional manifold, namely the circle, can help understanding 3-manifolds. We describe so-called the universal circle proposed by a lengendary mathematician, William Thurston, and discuss certain gene...
Coulomb Gases are point processes consisting of particles whose pair interaction is governed by the Coulomb potential. There is also an external potential which confines the particles to a region. Wigner introduced this toy model for the Gi...
A knot is a smooth embedding of an oriented circle into the three-sphere, and two knots are concordant if they cobound a smoothly embedded annulus in the three-sphere times the interval. Concordance gives an equivalence relation, and the se...
국제수학자대회(ICM, International Congress of Mathematicians)는 1897년 쮜리히에서 처음 개최되었고, 매 4년마다 개최된다. 100여국 4천여 명 정도의 규모로 9일 동안 계속된다. 우리시대 최고의 수학자들이 참여하며, 필즈상(Fields Medal)을 개막식에서 ...
The theory of L-functions and zeta functions have been the key subject of mathematical research during the centuries since the Riemann zeta function was introduced and its important connection to the arithmetic of the integer was recognized....
The disk embedding problem is of fundamental importance in the study of 4-dimensional topology. I will discuss its significance and difficulty, including how disk embedding makes dimension four intrinsically different from other dimensions. ...
We will talk about the Fourier restriction theorems for non-degenerate and degenerate curves in Euclidean space Rd. This problem was first studied by E. M. Stein and C. Fefferman for the circle and sphere, and it still remains an unsolved pr...
Trends to equilibrium in collisional rarefied gas theory
Dynamics of many particle system can be described by PDE of probability density function. The Boltzmann equation in kinetic theory is one of the most famous equation which describes rarefied gas dynamics. One of main property of the Boltzman...
Study stochastic biochemical systems via their underlying network structures
When a biological system is modeled using a mathematical process, the following step is normally to estimate the system parameters. Despite the numerous computational and statistical techniques, estimating parameters for complex systems can...
Vlasov-Maxwell equations and the Dynamics of Plasmas
In this colloquium talk, we study the Vlasov-Maxwell equations, a collisionless model in the field of kinetic theory. The model is a fundamental model for the dynamics of plasmas and was introduced in 1938 by Vlasov. Due to the hyperbolic n...
Noise-induced phenomena in stochastic heat equations
Stochastic heat equations (SHE) usually refer to heat equations perturbed by noise and can be a model for the density of diffusing particles under a random potential. When the irregularity of noise is dominating the diffusion, SHE exhibits ...
<학부생을 위한 ɛ 강연> Mathematics and music: Pythagoras, Bach, Fibonacci and AI
In this talk, I will introduce the audience to the original beauty that leads to exploring the mathematical elements in music. I will cover the following topics on the connection between music and mathematics. - Harmonics & equations - ...
