    Title: Bi-Lipschitz Invariants Abstract: Consider a finite-dimensional real vector space and a finite group acting unitarily on it. We investigate the general problem of constructing Euclidean stable embeddings of the quotient space of orbits. Our embedding relies on subsets of sorted coorbits with respect to chosen window vectors. Our main injectivity results examine the conditions […]

  • Bounds and Extremal Examples for the Hot Spots Ratio (Alex Hsu, University of Washington)

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

    Abstract: The shape of the fluctuations as heat approaches equilibrium in an insulated body are governed by the first Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplacian. Rauch's hot spots conjecture states that the extrema of the first nontrivial Neumann Laplacian eigenfunction for a Lipschitz domain lies on the boundary. While this conjecture is false in general, its […]
