The minisemester will include two intensive workshops: 1. Tutorial Lectures and an Interdisciplinary Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Crystal Growth July 26 - July 30, 2010 For applications in materials science, we need improved models and...

Two G-spaces X and Y are said to be hG-equivalent if their Borel constructions are equivalent over BG. In this talk we introduce an obstruction which determines when a G-sphere X is hG-equivalent to a finite G-sphere Y, at a prime p dividing the...

A Bayesian network is a compact and intuitive graphical representation of the joint probability distribution. Belief update in a Bayesian network is the task of computing posterior probability distributions of unobserved variables given a set of...

Geodynamic flows, such as the convection within the Earth's mantle, are characterized by the extremely viscous nature of the flow, as well as the dependence of the viscosity on temperature. As such, a PDE-based approach, coupling the (stationary)...

The branched transport problem is the minimization of a concave functional on vecror measures with prescribed divergence. The only admissible measures are those concentrated on 1-rectifiable sets and the energy is the integral of a power $\theta^...

Mini-courses The Radon transform and the X-Ray Transform ( Gunther Uhlmann, Peter Kuchment). This course will describe in detail the essential properties of these transforms including inversion formulas. The X-ray transform is one of the basic...

The aim of this workshop is to help engage the next generation of mathematicians in the internationalization of science for the enhancement of scientific training. The workshop is part of a long term goal to increase collaboration and scientific...

The focus of the conference will be on applications of Kasparov's theory, non-commutative topology, index theory, representation theory, C*-dynamical systems from number theory, symmetries and equilibrium.
