• A BKM-type criterion for the 3D incompressible Euler equations (Mustafa Aydin, USC)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: The three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations describe the motion of an ideal fluid, yet the mechanisms that govern the possible loss of regularity of smooth solutions remain only partially understood. A classical result of Beale, Kato, and Majda shows that if a smooth solution breaks down in finite time, then the time integral of the […]

  • Analysis Seminar: Generalized Elmendorf’s Theorem in Context (Sofía Martínez Alberga, Bryn Mawr College)

    Estella 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: In general, the objective of algebraic topology is to classify spaces using some algebraic invariants or up to some notion of equivalence. In the area of equivariant homotopy theory, the goal is the same but now spaces equipped with a group action are considered and algebraic invariants of choice are homotopy groups. It turns […]

  • Analysis Seminar: Choquet simplices of groups and C*-algebras (Itamar Vigdorovich, UCSD)

    Estella 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: Let C be a compact convex set (in a locally convex topological vector space). By Choquet’s theorem, every point in C is the barycenter of a probability measure supported on the extreme points. When this representing measure is unique, C is called a simplex. Simplices arise naturally in various fields of mathematics: the space […]
