Algebra Seminar Speaker: Padamavathi Srinivasan, Boston University Title: Covers of curves, Ceresa cycles, and unlikely intersections Abstract: The Ceresa cycle is a canonical homologically trivial algebraic cycle associated to a curve in its Jacobian. In his 1983 thesis, Ceresa showed that this cycle is algebraically nontrivial for a very general complex curve of genus at least […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Stephen Landsittel Title: Generalized Hilbert Kunz Multiplicities of Families of Ideals Abstract: We discuss existence and volume equals multiplicity formulas for generalized Hilbert Kunz Multiplicities for p-families of ideals.
Colloquium Speaker: Julien Tailleur, MIT Title: The active Young-Dupré Equation Abstract: The Young-Dupré equation is a cornerstone of the equilibrium theory of capillary and wetting phenomena. In the biological world, interfacial phenomena are ubiquitous, from the spreading of bacterial colonies to tissue growth and flocking of birds, but the description of such active systems escapes […]
Algebra Seminar Speaker: Lazar Guterman Title: Electrical networks, Grassmannians, and cluster algebras Abstract: An electrical network with $n$ boundary vertices induces a matrix called the response matrix which measures the electrical properties of the network. The set of response matrices of all electrical networks has a characterization in terms of positivity of circular minors. Alman, […]
