Speaker: Guillaume Duclos (Brandeis) Title: Building active nematic and active polar liquids out of biological machines Abstract: Active matter describes out-of-equilibrium materials composed of motile building blocks that convert free energy into mechanical work. The continuous input of energy at the […]
Abstract: Let X be a compact hyperbolic surface. We can see that there is a constant C(X) such that the intersection number of the closed geodesics is \leq C(X) times the […]
Abstract: The nonlinear stability of the slowly-rotating Kerr-de Sitter family was first proven by Hintz and Vasy in 2016 using microlocal techniques. In my talk, I will present a novel […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Sergiy Verstyuk Title: Machine Learning the Gravity Equation for International Trade Abstract: We will go through modern deep learning methods and existing approaches to their interpretation. Next, […]
General Relativity Workshop on scalar curvature, minimal surfaces, and initial data sets Dates: May 2–5, 2022 Location: Room G10, CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138 and via Zoom webinar. […]
Abstract: Consider a bootstrap percolation process that starts with a set of `infected’ triangles $Y \subseteq \binom{}3$, and a new triangle f gets infected if there is a copy of […]
Abstract: Although everyone talks about AI + healthcare, many people were unaware of the fact that there are two possible outcomes of the collaboration, due to the inherent dissimilarity between the […]
On May 6–8, 2022, the CMSA hosted a second NSF FRG Workshop. This project brings together a community of researchers who develop theoretical and computational models to characterize shapes. Their […]
On May 9–12, 2022, the CMSA hosted the conference Deformations of structures and moduli in geometry and analysis: A Memorial in honor of Professor Masatake Kuranishi. Organizers: Tristan Collins (MIT) and […]
Abstract: I will explore the interplay between Swampland conjectures and models of inflation and light Dark Matter. To that end, I will briefly review the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) and the related […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMbWPWeuJOQ&list=PL0NRmB0fnLJQAnYwkpt9PN2PBKx4rvdup&index=12 Abstract: We are familiar with the idea that quantum gravity in AdS can holographically emerge from complex patterns of entanglement, but can the physics of big bang cosmology emerge from a quantum […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnWI9sCfAi0&list=PL0NRmB0fnLJQAnYwkpt9PN2PBKx4rvdup&index=11&t=2s Abstract: The CDF collaboration recently reported a new precise measurement of the W boson mass MW with a central value significantly larger than the SM prediction. We explore the effects […]
