    Title: Kolmogorov, Onsager and a Dyadic Model for Turbulence Abstract: We will briefly review Kolmogorov’s ( 41) theory of homogeneous turbulence and Onsager’s ( 49 ) conjecture that in 3-dimensional […]

  • Properties of redistricting Markov chains (Sarah Cannon, CMC)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    Markov chains have become widely-used to generate random political districting plans. These random districting plans can be used to form a baseline for comparison, and any proposed districting plans that […]

    Title: Shape Optimization: Old and New Speaker: Edouard Oudet,  LJK, Université Grenoble Alpes Abstract: We first introduce what is shape Optimization and the most classical problems of the field like the isoperimetric problem, the study of minimal surfaces, the characterization of irrigation networks, etc. In a second step we focus on a more recent question related […]

  • Norms on self-adjoint symmetric tensor power of linear operators on Hilbert spaces (Yunied Puig de Dios, CMC)

    Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

    We introduce a family of norms on the space of self-adjoint trace class symmetric tensor power of linear operators acting on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Our technique is to extend to infinite dimension an original and nice idea of a very recent result by K. Aguilar,  Á. Chávez, S. R. Garcia and J. Volčič, in […]
