The structure of the zero set of a multivariate polynomial is a topic of wide interest, in view of its ubiquity in problems of analysis, algebra, partial differential equations, probability and geometry. The study of such sets originated in the...

The development of new technologies for acquiring measures and images in order to investigate cardiovascular diseases raises new challenges in scientific computing. These data can be in fact merged with the numerical simulations for improving the...

Entropy" is a key notion in the study in of dynamical systems. This quantity reflects the "uncertainty", or "randomness" of a system. Subshifts are topological dynamical systems whose elements are sequences over a given finite alphabet. A translation...

Let G be a compact connected Lie group act on a topological space X in such a way that all isotropy subgroups are connected and of maximal rank. In this talk we provide a criterion to determine when K_{G}^{*}(X) is free over the representation ring R...

What dynamic processes are responsible for the development of complex body plans? I will approach this from a chemical perspective, looking at what types of dynamics can form spatial concentration patterns. I will discuss two areas in which we are...

This is a continuation on the topic of cyclic homology

Flagellated bacteria, such as E. Coli, propel themselves using multiple flagella – long, thin helical filaments – that are rotated using nanoscale motors. We will discuss a few aspects of the fluid mechanics associated with bacterial motility...
