March 9, 2020 -(Cancelled!!) Applied Math Talk: Stable planar vegetation stripe patterns on sloped terrain in dryland ecosystems given by Prof. Paul Carter (University of Minnesota)
(Cancelled!!) Applied Math Talk: Stable planar vegetation stripe patterns on sloped terrain in dryland ecosystems given by Prof. Paul Carter (University of Minnesota)
In water-limited regions, competition for water resources results in the formation of vegetation patterns; on sloped terrain, one finds that the vegetation typically aligns in stripes or arcs. The dynamics […]

Finding bases of new infinite dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ ( Dwight Williams, UT Arlington)
The orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is rich in representation theory: while the finite dimensional $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$-module category is semisimple, the study of infinite dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is wide open. In this talk, we will define the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras, realize $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ as differential operators on complex polynomials, and describe the space of polynomials in commuting […]
