SUMMARY:Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Computation
DESCRIPTION:Together with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, the CMSA will be hosting a lecture series on the Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Computation. Talks in this series will aim to highlight current research trends at the interface of applied math and computation and will explore the application of these trends to challenging scientific\, engineering\, and societal problems. \nLectures will take place on March 25\, April 1\, and April 29\, 2021. \nSpeakers: \n\nGeorge Biros (U.T. Austin)\nLaura Grigori (INRIA Paris)\nSamory K. Kpotufe (Columbia)\nJonas Martin Peters (University of Copenhagen)\nJoseph M. Teran (UCLA)\n\n\nThe schedule below will be updated as talks are confirmed. \n  \n\n\n\nDate/Time\nSpeaker\nTitle/Abstract\n\n\n\n\n3/25/2021\n10:00 – 11:00am ET\nJoseph M. Teran\nTitle: Affine-Particle-In-Cell with Conservative Resampling and Implicit Time Stepping for Surface Tension Forces \nAbstract: The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method of Harlow is one of the first and most widely used numerical methods for Partial Differential Equations (PDE) in computational physics. Its relative efficiency\, versatility and intuitive implementation have made it particularly popular in computational incompressible flow\, plasma physics and large strain elastoplasticity. PIC is characterized by its dual particle/grid (Lagrangian/Eulerian) representation of material where particles are generally used to track material transport in a Lagrangian way and a structured Eulerian grid is used to discretize remaining spatial derivatives in the PDE. I will discuss the importance of conserving linear and angular momentum when switching between these two representations and the recent Affine-Particle-In-Cell (APIC) extension to PIC designed for this conservation. I will also discuss a recent APIC technique for discretizing surface tension forces and their linearizations needed for implicit time stepping. This technique is characterized by a novel surface resampling strategy and I will discuss a generalization of the APIC conservation to this setting.\n\n\n4/1/2021\n9:00 – 10:00am ET\nGeorge Biros\nTitle: Inverse biophysical modeling and its application to neurooncology \nAbstract: A predictive\, patient-specific\, biophysical model of tumor growth would be an invaluable tool for causally connecting diagnostics with predictive medicine. For example\, it could be used for tumor grading\, characterization of the tumor microenvironment\, recurrence prediction\, and treatment planning\,  e.g.\, chemotherapy protocol or enrollment eligibility for clinical trials. Such a model also would provide an important bridge between molecular drivers of tumor growth and imaging-based phenotypic signatures\, and thus\,  help identify and quantify mechanism-based associations between these two. Unfortunately\, such a predictive biophysical model does not exist. Existing models undergoing clinical evaluation are too simple–they do not even capture the MRI phenotype. Although many highly complex models have been proposed\, the major hurdle in deploying them clinically is their calibration and validation. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss the challenges related to the calibration and validation of biophysical models\, and in particular the mathematical structure of the underlying inverse problems. I will also present a new algorithm that localizes the tumor origin within a few millimeters.\n\n\n4/1/2021\n10:00 – 11:00am ET\nSamory K. Kpotufe\nTitle: From Theory to Clustering \nAbstract: Clustering is a basic problem in data analysis\, consisting of partitioning data into meaningful groups called clusters. Practical clustering procedures tend to meet two criteria: flexibility in the shapes and number of clusters estimated\, and efficient processing. While many practical procedures might meet either of these criteria in different applications\, general guarantees often only hold for theoretical procedures that are hard if not impossible to implement. A main aim is to address this gap.\nWe will discuss two recent approaches that compete with state-of-the-art procedures\, while at the same time relying on rigorous analysis of clustering. The first approach fits within the framework of density-based clustering\, a family of flexible clustering approaches. It builds primarily on theoretical insights on nearest-neighbor graphs\, a geometric data structure shown to encode local information on the data density. The second approach speeds up kernel k-means\, a popular Hilbert space embedding and clustering method. This more efficient approach relies on a new interpretation – and alternative use – of kernel-sketching as a geometry-preserving random projection in Hilbert space.\nFinally\, we will present recent experimental results combining the benefits of both approaches in the IoT application domain.\nThe talk is based on various works with collaborators Sanjoy Dasgupta\, Kamalika Chaudhuri\, Ulrike von Luxburg\, Heinrich Jiang\, Bharath Sriperumbudur\, Kun Yang\, and Nick Feamster.\n\n\n4/29/2021\n12:00 – 1:00pm ET\nJonas Martin Peters\nTitle: Causality and Distribution Generalization \nAbstract: Purely predictive methods do not perform well when the test distribution changes too much from the training distribution. Causal models are known to be stable with respect to distributional shifts such as arbitrarily strong interventions on the covariates\, but do not perform well when the test distribution differs only mildly from the training distribution. We discuss anchor regression\, a framework that provides a trade-off between causal and predictive models. The method poses different (convex and non-convex) optimization problems and relates to methods that are tailored for instrumental variable settings. We show how similar principles can be used for inferring metabolic networks. If time allows\, we discuss extensions to nonlinear models and theoretical limitations of such methodology.\n\n\n4/29/2021\n1:00 – 2:00pm ET\nLaura Grigori\nTitle: Randomization and communication avoiding techniques for large scale linear algebra \nAbstract: In this talk we will discuss recent developments of randomization and communication avoiding techniques for solving large scale linear algebra operations. We will focus in particular on solving linear systems of equations and we will discuss a randomized process for orthogonalizing a set of vectors and its usage in GMRES\, while also exploiting mixed precision.  We will also discuss a robust multilevel preconditioner that allows to further accelerate solving large scale linear systems on parallel computers.

SUMMARY:CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture:  Rationality questions in algebraic geometry
DESCRIPTION:Joe Harris (Harvard) \nTitle: Rationality questions in algebraic geometry \nAbstract: Over the course of the history of algebraic geometry\, rationality questions — motivated by both geometric and arithmetic problems — have often driven the subject forward. The rationality or irrationality of cubic hypersurfaces in particular have led to the development of abelian integrals (dimension one)\, birational geometry (dimension two) and Hodge theory (dimension 3). But there remained much we didn’t understand about the condition of rationality\, such as how it behaves in families. However\, there has been recent progress: work of Hassett\, Tschinkel\, Pirutka and others\, working with examples in dimension 4\, showed that it is in general neither an open condition nor a closed one\, but does behave well with respect to specialization. In this talk I’ll try to give an overview of the history of rationality and the current state of our knowledge. \nVideo

SUMMARY:CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: Quantum Groups
DESCRIPTION:Pavel Etingof (MIT) \nTitle: Quantum Groups \nAbstract: The theory of quantum groups developed in mid 1980s from attempts to construct and understand solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation\, an important equation arising in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. Since then\, it has grown into a vast subject with profound connections to many areas of mathematics\, such as representation theory\, the Langlands program\, low-dimensional topology\, category theory\, enumerative geometry\, quantum computation\, algebraic combinatorics\, conformal field theory\, integrable systems\, integrable probability\, and others. I will review some of the main ideas and examples of quantum groups and try to briefly describe some of the applications. \nVideo | Slides

SUMMARY:CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: Black Hole Formation
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Bieri (University of Michigan) \nTitle: Black Hole Formation \nAbstract: Can black holes form through the focusing of gravitational waves? This was an outstanding question since the early days of general relativity. In his breakthrough result of 2008\, Demetrios Chrstodoulou answered this question with “Yes!” In order to investigate this result\, we will delve deeper into the dynamical mathematical structures of the Einstein equations. Black holes are related to the presence of trapped surfaces in the spacetime manifold. Christodoulou proved that in the regime of pure general relativity and for arbitrarily dispersed initial data\, trapped surfaces form through the focusing of gravitational waves provided the incoming energy is large enough in a precisely defined way. The proof combines new ideas from geometric analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations as well as it introduces new methods to solve large data problems. These methods have many applications beyond general relativity. D. Christodoulou’s result was generalized in various directions by many authors. It launched mathematical activities going into multiple fields in mathematics and physics. In this talk\, we will discuss the mathematical framework of the above question. Then we will outline the main ideas of Christodoulou’s result and its generalizations\, show relations to other questions and give an overview of implications in other fields. \nVideo

SUMMARY:CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: My life and times with the sporadic simple groups
DESCRIPTION:Robert Griess (University of Michigan) \nTitle: My life and times with the sporadic simple groups \nAbstract: Five sporadic simple groups were proposed in 19th century and 21 additional ones arose during the period 1965-1975. There were many discussions about the nature of finite simple groups and how sporadic groups are placed in mathematics. While in mathematics grad school at University of Chicago\,  I became fascinated with the unfolding story of sporadic simple groups. It involved theory\, detective work and experiments. During this lecture\, I will describe some of the people\, important ideas and evolution of thinking about sporadic simple groups. Most should be accessible to a general mathematical audience. \nVideo | Slides

SUMMARY:CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: From string theory and Moonshine to vertex algebras
DESCRIPTION:Bong Lian (Brandeis) \nTitle: From string theory and Moonshine to vertex algebras \nAbstract: This is a brief survey of the early historical development of vertex algebras\, beginning in the seventies from Physics and Representation Theory. We shall also discuss some of the ideas that led to various early formulations of the theory’s foundation\, and their relationships\, as well as some of the subsequent and recent developments. The lecture is aimed at a general audience. \nSlides | Video

SUMMARY:CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: Four-dimensional topology
DESCRIPTION:Ciprian Manolescu (Stanford) \nTitle: Four-dimensional topology \nAbstract: I will outline the history of four-dimensional topology. Some major events were the work of Donaldson and Freedman from 1982\, and the introduction of the Seiberg-Witten equations in 1994. I will discuss these\, and then move on to what has been done in the last 20 years\, when the focus shifted to four-manifolds with boundary and cobordisms. Floer homology has led to numerous applications\, and recently there have also been a few novel results (and proofs of old results) using Khovanov homology. The talk will be accessible to a general mathematical audience. \nVideo
